Morocco's Tourism Sector Rebounds, Surpassing Pre-Pandemic Revenue Levels

Slowly but surely, the tourism industry is gradually recovering from Covid-19. This emerges from the presentation of the budget of the Ministry of Tourism before the Commission of Productive Sectors in the House of Representatives.

The actions taken by the government in favor of tourism, including the emergency plan budgeted at 2 billion dirhams to boost the sector hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis, have borne fruit. Hotel activity has been rehabilitated. According to the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, Social and Solidarity Economy, the recovery rate of tourism revenue in foreign currency reached 103% in September last year, reports Hespress.

Other actions taken: the deployment of all necessary efforts to accelerate the (re)dynamization of the tourism sector through the support of professionals, the implementation of workshops to reform the classification system for tourist accommodation establishments and agencies, and the development of services offered to customers.

Buoyed by this result, Morocco is optimistic for the years to come. It expects to receive around 26 million tourists by 2030. It also intends to further promote domestic tourism. In this sense, the kingdom will not only reduce the costs of travel or accommodation, but will offer several promotions to families.
