The High Commission for Planning reported that the results of the tourism account for 2024 indicate a significant increase in the gross domestic product (GDP) of the tourism sector by 38.4% compared to 2019, reaching 116.2 billion dirhams.
The commission explained in a news memorandum that “due to a 46% increase in net taxes on tourism products, the GDP of tourism rose by 38.4%, reaching 116.2 billion dirhams in 2024 compared to 83.9 billion dirhams in 2019. Consequently, its contribution to the national GDP improved to 7.3% in 2024, up from 6.8% in 2019.”
The same source added that domestic tourism consumption reached 201.7 billion dirhams in 2024, reflecting a 42.6% increase compared to 2019.
This rise is attributed to an increase in incoming tourism consumption, which rose by 46.8% to 136.9 billion dirhams, and internal and outbound tourism consumption increased by 34.6% to 64.8 billion dirhams.
In this context, the share of incoming tourism in local consumption amounted to 67.9%, while the share of domestic and outbound tourism decreased to 32.1% in 2024.
The production value in the tourism sector reached 181.9 billion dirhams in 2024, representing an increase of 42.3% compared to 2019, while the value added in tourism rose to 96.4 billion dirhams in 2024, marking an increase of 37%.
