Rabat – The Ministry of Tourism is celebrating a new achievement, noting that the tourist arrivals rate in Morocco marked an increase of 19% in the first half of 2025, compared to the same period last year.
In a statement today, the ministry said Morocco welcomed 8.9 million tourists in the first half of 2025, indicating an additional 1.4 million tourists compared to the same period last year.
The ministry said this number confirms Morocco’s position as a top travel destination, maintaining an upward trend.
The month of June contributed to the achievement with 1.7 million arrivals, an 11% increase compared to last year.
This year’s June is the best recorded to date, the statement said, noting that the news marks a positive start to the summer season.
The statement conveys the ministry’s high expectations, especially as summer represents a peak season for the country’s tourism sector.
“These results confirm Morocco’s attractiveness and our ability to draw an increasing number of tourists,” Minister Fatim-Zahra Ammor said, noting that the second half of this year focuses on top priorities like strengthening air connectivity and accelerating the development of accommodation and entertainment offerings to meet the expectations of an increasingly demanding clientele.
Morocco has been strengthening its position in the sector by breaking records and welcoming millions of tourists throughout the year and across all seasons.
The North African country welcomed 17.4 million tourists last year, with arrivals representing a 20% increase compared to 2023.
Morocco averaged $3.5 billion in FDI annually across all sectors, UN Tourism said, stressing that the country is now Africa’s most-visited nation, surpassing Egypt.
