Bookings for trips to the far corners of the world are stalling. Faced with rising prices and the risk of unforeseen events linked to international instability, many vacationers prefer to cancel or postpone their distant departures. The desire to take a plane remains intact, however. To compensate, travelers are simply turning to the Mediterranean basin. Morocco, like Greece or Portugal, is now capturing this clientele seeking sunshine just a few hours’ flight away.

This strategic shift is explained by a double benefit for consumers. Tristan Thiebaut, associate at Archery Strategy Consulting, points out to La Dépêche that the financial aspect takes priority: these tickets cost significantly less than intercontinental flights.

In this landscape, overseas territories are an exception. Flights to French Guiana, Guadeloupe or Reunion are maintained thanks to vacationers visiting their families. Tristan Thiebaut describes this affinity market as particularly resilient. If airline fares remain reasonable, the overseas departments and territories could even recover some of the tourists who have definitively abandoned their initial idea of a distant foreign trip.
