Morocco has enjoyed “unique momentum” from the UK market in 2024, which it expects to continue thanks to a significant increase in flights to the North African destination – including from Jet2.com.

During the first nine months of the year, UK arrivals reached 817,000 (+38%), which is ahead of the 807,000 British visitors during the whole of 2023 and is also 75% higher than during the same period of 2019.


Morocco now expects UK visitor numbers to top one million this year, which would represent a year-on-year uptick of nearly a quarter. Total visitor numbers for the year are expected to exceed 13 million.
