Mumbai: Morocco is expecting up to 80,000 visitors from India this year, in line with the growth momentum of the previous year, with a focus on group tours, MICE, FIT and older age groups of over 50 years.
"We received an overall 20 million international visitors in 2025, of which there were 54,000 Indian travellers. It was over a 31 per cent increase from India from 2024, when we had a footfall of 41,000 visitors from India. In 2024, we hosted 17.4 million international tourists," Moroccan National Tourism Office (MNTO) Country General Manager, India, Jamal Younes Kilito said.
The main reason for this growth in footfalls from India can be attributed to our promotions, which began two years back in 2023, and the e-visa facility, he noted.
"We set up a tourism office in India in 2023 and began our promotions, and signed many partnerships with Indian tour operators. It resulted in 123 per cent growth in visitor arrivals from India in 2024, as compared with the previous year. It was also aided by convenient e-visa facilities, which take from a few hours to up to four working days," Kilito said.
