Morocco was recently named as the top tourist destination in Africa for the year 2024, welcoming more than 17.4 million visitors. This resounding success, which marks a major milestone for the Kingdom, has garnered praise on the international scene, including from the former United States Ambassador to Morocco, His Excellency David Fischer.
In a tweet vibrant with sincerity and admiration, David Fischer praised this exceptional performance by highlighting the major asset that distinguishes Morocco: its PEOPLE. “I am very happy to read that Morocco was the most visited country in all of Africa in 2024. And I know it’s not just the place… it’s THE PEOPLE. Congratulations to the inhabitants of the country, the warmth of the people and the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, everything has come together to place you at the top! Go Morocco! Go Morocco! Go Morocco! »
A tribute to Moroccan warmth and hospitality:
The words of the former diplomat translate a reality well known to visitors to Morocco: beyond its breathtaking landscapes, its imperial cities and its cultural riches, it is the Moroccans themselves who leave an indelible impression . Their legendary hospitality, their openness and their generosity embody the spirit of the Kingdom, transforming each stay into an unforgettable human experience.
Visionary leadership serving outreach:
David Fischer did not fail to highlight the strategic role of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, whose enlightened leadership has allowed Morocco to position itself as a major player in global tourism. Under royal leadership, massive investments have been made in tourism infrastructure, transport, heritage preservation and the promotion of Morocco’s image internationally.
This ambitious policy has made it possible to diversify the Kingdom’s tourist offering, promoting the heavenly beaches of Agadir and Essaouira as well as the Atlas Mountains, the desert dunes and the cultural treasures of cities like Marrakech, Fez and Tangier.
-A model for the African continent:
With this new record, Morocco strengthens its role as a tourism locomotive in Africa, demonstrating that a strategy based on innovation, sustainability and commitment can lead to remarkable results. The Moroccan example inspires other nations on the continent, by showing how to combine economic development and the development of human and natural resources.
A message of universality:
David Fischer’s tweet embodies a universal message: the success of a nation rests as much on its tangible wealth as on the soul and character of its people. By saluting the Moroccans for their role in this triumph, he recalls that each visitor leaves with a fragment of the Moroccan spirit, a human warmth that transcends borders.
Morocco, thanks to its people, its leadership and its exceptional heritage, shines today at the top of African tourism. And this is just the beginning for this country which embodies excellence, modernity and tradition in perfect harmony. Go Morocco!
