Overview
Morocco's tourism receipts stood at $4.5B in 2020, a decline of +$5.4B from 2019. Morocco ranked 25th globally.
Morocco’s tourism receipts have risen sharply from the all‑time trough of 1,469,000,000.00 in 1995 to a peak of 9,949,000,000.00 in 2019, reflecting a more than six‑fold expansion over the 26‑year series. The COVID‑19 pandemic cut the latest 2020 figure to 4,514,000,000.00, placing Morocco 25th globally and slightly below peers such as Egypt (4,874,000,000.00) and the Russian Federation (4,961,000,000.00). The long‑term upward trajectory has been driven by diversified marketing, expanded airport capacity and the growth of mid‑range and luxury segments, while the 2020 decline underscores the sector’s vulnerability to external shocks. Compared with Luxembourg (4,454,000,000.00) and Hungary (4,224,000,000.00), Morocco’s receipts remain modest but benefit from a larger domestic tourism base and proximity to European markets. Assuming a rapid post‑pandemic recovery and continued investment in tourism infrastructure, receipts are likely to resume growth toward pre‑crisis levels in the coming years.
