Morocco registered a record of 11.35 million tourists in 2017, up by 10
per cent compared to a year earlier, according to the statistics

Arrivals from the
traditional European markets showed an increase of 15 per cent in German
tourists, 9 per cent in Dutch and Italian tourists.
About 8 per
cent increase was recorded in the arrivals of French and Spanish

tourist markets especially China, Japan and Brazil.
Chinese arrivals jumped 151 per cent, while Japanese and Brazilian visitors rose 39 and 38 per cent respectively.
Morocco's
main tourist destinations, Marrakesh and Agadir, witnessed 17 and 11
per cent increase in tourist arrivals, while the old city of Fez and the
desert town of Ouarzazate showed the highest increase with a growth of
39 and 37 per cent.
