More Brazilians are choosing Morocco for their holidays, with arrivals up 35 percent in 2025, according to official figures.

Data from the Moroccan National Tourist Office shows 54,475 Brazilian visitors last year, compared with 40,277 in 2024 and 37,750 in 2023. The total is now above pre-Covid levels, when 47,113 Brazilians visited in 2019.

The rise is closely linked to the return of the direct Casablanca–São Paulo flight operated by Royal Air Maroc. With four flights a week, it is the only direct air connection between North Africa and South America.

The momentum continued at the end of the year. In December 2025, Morocco welcomed 4,496 Brazilian tourists, a 14 percent increase on the same month in 2023.

Brazilians are also staying longer. Overnight stays in classified hotels reached 84,228 in 2025, up 47 percent from a year earlier, suggesting higher spending and longer trips.

Easy access has helped. Morocco allows Brazilian citizens to enter visa-free for up to 90 days, a clear advantage over destinations with tougher entry rules.

The trend supports Morocco’s wider tourism push. The country received a record 19.8 million visitors in 2025, up 14 percent on 2024, edging closer to the 20-million mark as it targets 26 million tourists by 2030, ahead of co-hosting the 2030 World Cup.

Officials see Brazil as a key long-term market, particularly ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal.
