Morocco achieved a historic milestone in 2024, welcoming 17.4 million inbound visitors, according to the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy. This record-breaking figure marks a 20 per cent increase from 2023, with nearly 3 million additional tourists visiting the country. Surpassing Egypt, Morocco has claimed the title of Africa’s most-visited destination, just a year after a devastating earthquake near Marrakesh, one of its top tourist spots. Egypt also experienced growth, welcoming 15.7 million visitors in 2024, but it fell short of Morocco’s record-breaking numbers.
