Tourist revenues in Morocco reached $3.2 billion in the first four months of 2024, marking a 10.6% increase from the same period last year. The figures were reported last June 3 by the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and the Social and Solidarity.
The rise in tourism earnings is primarily attributed to a growth in visitor numbers during the period, the ministry added. Minister of Tourism Fatim-Zahra Ammor emphasized that the rebound in tourism revenues was expected due to the influx of arrivals, underscoring Morocco's status as a preferred destination capable of generating significant income.
"The Kingdom will continue to enhance its tourism offerings, particularly by diversifying recreational activities, to reach 120 billion dirhams ($12 billion) by 2026," she stated.
In 2023, Morocco welcomed a record 14.5 million tourists, pushing sector revenues past $10 billion for the first time.
