Morocco tourist arrivals top 9 million by June 2026

The number of visitors arriving at Morocco’s border crossings reached nearly 9.4 million by the end of June 2026, up 6% year on year, according to the Directorate of Financial Studies and Forecasts (DEPF).

This performance reflects higher arrivals from several key markets, including France (+9%), Germany (+14%), Belgium (+9%), the Netherlands (+10%), Italy (+6%), Poland (+32%), the United Kingdom (+4%), and the United States (+9%), the DEPF said in its latest economic update.

The report noted that the tourism sector began the year with value-added growth of 8.1% in the first quarter of 2026, following an 8.7% increase a year earlier. The sector’s main indicators point to continued positive momentum in tourism activity over the coming months.

Overnight stays in classified accommodation establishments rose by 9% at the end of May, after increasing by 12.4% a year earlier.

This growth was driven in particular by strong performances in Marrakech (+10%), Agadir (+13%), Casablanca (+12%), Ouarzazate (+24%), Rabat (+18%), Tangier (+8%), Fez (+7%), Essaouira (+6%), Errachidia (+8%), and Al Haouz (+4%).

Travel receipts, meanwhile, stood at nearly 53.8 billion dirhams, up 14.6% compared with the end of May 2025.
