Several destinations recorded notable gains compared to May 2024, including Tangier (+24%), Casablanca (+20%), Fez (+19%), Essaouira (+16%), Al Haouz (+14%), Agadir (+10%), and Marrakech (+7%). Meanwhile, foreign currency revenues from tourism by non-residents exceeded 45.12 billion dirhams in the first five months of 2025, reflecting an 8.5% year-on-year increase.
