Tourism: Morocco outclasses Egypt

Moroccan tourism is growing strongly. According to French media, Morocco “is expected to become the most visited country in Africa in 2024, just ahead of Egypt. »

Arrivals reached a record 16 million visitors to the kingdom from January to November, 20% more than the same period the previous year. According to RFIthis “figure could continue to increase, because the Moroccan authorities hope to reach a new record next year with 17.5 million entries into the territory”. The tourism industry in Morocco, which accounts for 7% of GDP, has already generated more than 9 billion euros in revenue this year, even before the month of December. “Here too the record should be broken for 2024,” says the media. At this rate, Morocco should become the “most visited destination in Africa in 2024”, ahead of Egypt, estimates the same source.
