Tourism: The number of Brazilians in Morocco explodes
The expansion of Royal Air Maroc (RAM) connections and a recent Arab-Brazilian tourism agreement are transforming Brazil into a destination of choice for the Arab market. This dynamic is ideally positioning Casablanca as an essential hub connecting Latin America to Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
The memorandum of understanding, signed between the Brazilian government and the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, aims to jointly stimulate the flow of travelers and capital. This strategic cooperation is targeting a particularly lucrative Arab tourism market, whose overall value is expected to reach $384 billion by 2028, by focusing in particular on infrastructure and hotel development.

To support this transcontinental ambition, the Moroccan national airline is massively intensifying its operations. After offering 85,000 seats in 2025 with three weekly flights, RAM has moved to four flights per week since last December. This ramp-up brings the offer to around 130,000 seats for this year, marking a growth of around 30%.

This increased connectivity is already bearing fruit, with the number of Brazilian tourists visiting the Kingdom rising from 34,000 in 2023 to nearly 60,000 in 2025. After successfully relaunching its line between São Paulo and Casablanca at the end of 2024 following the pandemic, Royal Air Maroc plans to announce the resumption of its direct flights from Rio de Janeiro very soon to definitively consolidate its South American presence.
