In 2024, travel and tourism in Morocco welcomed 17.5 million international arrivals and contributed $18.7 billion to the national economy — 12.2% of GDP and 1.4 million jobs. That places Morocco 8th among the 42 economies tracked in the WTTC Economic Impact Research 2025. On average, each international visitor to Morocco generated roughly $754.286 of inbound spending. Every figure on this page is anchored to that release — no estimates, no AI-generated numbers.
Travel and tourism contributed $18.7 billion to Morocco's economy in 2024, equal to 12.2% of national GDP. That marks 6.5% year-on-year growth versus 2023. By tourism's share of the national economy, Morocco ranks 8th of the 42 economies in the WTTC panel — a measure of how concentrated the country is on travel and tourism relative to its overall output. WTTC forecasts the sector to reach 12.2% of GDP in 2025.
Tourism's share of Morocco's GDP rose from 11.2% in 2019 to 12.2% in 2024 , meaning the sector has more than recovered its pre-pandemic weight in the economy. Over the same window, tourism employment moved from 1.3 million to 1.4 million jobs — a net gain of 100,000 positions.
Tourism supported 1.4 million jobs in Morocco in 2024 — 13.6% of total national employment. That ranks 10th of the 42 WTTC economies by tourism jobs. Each of those jobs is associated with roughly $13,357.143 of tourism GDP contribution — a useful proxy for sector productivity in Morocco.
Morocco recorded 17.5 million international visitor arrivals in 2024. Inbound visitors spent $13.2 billion — a direct injection of foreign-currency earnings into the economy. That works out to about $754.286 of inbound receipts per international arrival, a headline indicator of how much value Morocco captures from each visitor.
Capital investment into Morocco's travel and tourism reached $5.8 billion in 2024 , 13.5% of the country's total capital formation. That ranks 22nd among the 42 tracked economies. WTTC characterises Morocco's tourism investment momentum as steady, a forward signal for how the pipeline of hotels, transport and attractions is likely to develop.
Within Africa, Morocco's 12.2% tourism share of GDP sits alongside regional peers such as Kenya (10.1%), Egypt (8.5%), South Africa (8.4%). Comparing these economies on the same WTTC-verified basis is what makes cross-country tourism benchmarking reliable — every figure is drawn from the identical EIR 2025 methodology.
Across the 2019–2025 window WTTC tracks, tourism's share of Morocco's GDP moved from 11.2% to 12.2%. Sector employment over the same period went from 1.3 million to 1.5 million jobs.
WTTC projects tourism to settle at 12.2% of Morocco's GDP by 2035, compared with from 12.2% in 2024. Long-range share forecasts like this are the backbone of demand-planning and investment-attractiveness analysis for Morocco.
Taken together, these WTTC-verified figures position Morocco 8th of 42 economies by tourism's share of GDP, placing it in the top quartile of tourism-intensive economies. With investment momentum rated steady and a stable long-run GDP-share forecast, the data points to a mature, steady tourism economy. For analysts, the value here is reproducibility: every claim on this page is anchored to a single, named source (WTTC EIR 2025) and can be re-derived line by line — no black-box estimates, no model drift between report runs.
