Morocco aims to attract 17.5 million tourists by 2026, up from 11 million last year, according to the tourism ministry. In 2019 Morocco had 13 million visitors, Reuters reported.
Last year, the sector’s revenue more than doubled compared with 2021 to 91 billion dirhams, exceeding 2019 levels.
But by 2037, it aspires to attract 67 million travellers as it also seeks to make Casablanca among the three largest air transport hubs in Africa, the statement said.
