Market Trends to Watch

Morocco’s GDP Growth is Being Driven by Tourism

• In 2017, Morocco’s tourism revenue was estimated to be around MAD 70 billion. Despite the fact that the country’s GDP growth slowed slightly in 2018, tourism revenues continued to support the economy. This trend is expected to continue in 2019.
• The tourism sector is expected to continue to be a strong driver of Morocco’s economic development. While GDP growth may slow from the high rate seen in 2017, the regional average remains positive, thanks to key growth drivers such as tourism and manufacturing industries benefiting from foreign investment in the aerospace and automotive sectors.
• The number of international visitors crossing the border increased by 10% from 2016 to 11.35 million, an increase of more than 1 million tourists.
• Morocco’s major EU markets, such as Germany (up 15%), the Netherlands and Italy (up 9%), France and Spain (up 8%), and the United States (up 29%), all saw a rise in tourist numbers.
• Furthermore, data from other markets show very promising signs, with Japan reporting a 39 percent rise and Brazil reporting a 38 percent increase.Morocco’s tourism infrastructure is being expanded in the southern provinces.
• Morocco’s three southern provinces have the right ingredients to promote a sustainable tourism industry, with unspoiled coastlines, large swaths of desert, and remarkable cultural heritage.
• Despite the fact that the area lags behind others in terms of site growth and lodging, private and public programs are assisting in the development of niche goods and increasing tourist traffic.
• There are significant opportunities for growth in the tourism sector in the region, given the variety of attractions and low development levels. Tourism made up a small percentage of the economy in the southern provinces, owing to restricted air connections with the more densely populated north, where the primary international airports are located, as well as the underdevelopment of accommodation and niche services.
• Due to a number of factors, such as a lack of regional and national communication about the region’s potential, low bed space, animation, and entertainment services, the tourism sector including the best hotels in Rabat has not reached its full potential.
• However, thanks to the national tourism growth strategy, Plan Azur 2020, which is promoting the expansion of tourism capability in the southern provinces, this dynamic is changing. Additional flights to Casablanca and the Canary Islands have begun to link the three major cities; Dakhla, for example, now has ten weekly flights to Agadir and Casablanca combined. As a result, a mix of large-scale investments and smaller family-owned hospitality businesses have increased local supply and raised the region’s profile among both domestic and international tourists.

Competitive Environment:

The study examines the main foreign players in the Moroccan tourism and hospitality industries. Few major players currently dominate the industry in terms of market share. Mid-size and smaller businesses, on the other hand, are expanding their market reach by winning new contracts and tapping new markets as a result of technological development and product innovation.
