This target is part of Morocco’s broader strategy to solidify its position as a leading tourist destination.
Tourism in Morocco significantly impacts its economy, contributing 7.2% to the gross domestic product in 2024. Factors driving this growth include Morocco’s strategic geographic location, economic stability, political robustness, and a culture of openness and tolerance, all supported by government initiatives guided by King Mohammed VI.

ITB Berlin 2025 succeeded in attracting tourism experts from over 170 countries, showcasing Moroccan tourism offerings on an impressive pavilion spanning 730 square meters.
