The number of overnight stays in classified tourist accommodations in Morocco surpassed 2.04 million by the end of January 2025, marking a 16% increase compared to the same period last year, according to the Tourism Observatory.
This growth was driven by both domestic and international tourism, with local overnight stays rising by 6% and those from international visitors climbing by 20%, the report noted.
Several key destinations recorded strong performances compared to January 2024. The Al Haouz region saw a remarkable 48% increase in overnight stays, followed by Fès (+35%), Tangier (+30%), Casablanca (+29%), Essaouira (+15%), and Agadir (+14%).
Tourism also generated significant foreign currency revenue. By the end of January 2025, travel receipts from non-resident visitors in Morocco reached 8.78 billion dirhams, up from approximately 7.98 billion dirhams a year earlier—a 10% increase.
Meanwhile, tourist arrivals at border checkpoints saw a sharp rise, with 1,265,197 visitors entering the country in January, reflecting a 27% increase compared to the same month in 2024.
