In Morocco, tourism accounts for around eight to nine percent of the gross domestic product (GDP).
The country is witnessing a dramatic rise in number of tourists from the GCC. According to the president of Mazagan, Stephan Killinger, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, the demand is boosted by packages and easy travel logistics between the kingdom and GCC countries.
Around US$418 million were spent in Morocco in 2013 by GCC tourists. The country touched a record of 10 million tourists in the same year and a further rise is expected over the coming period.
Morocco is witnessing an economic upswing, according to recent government data released in April 2015 which showed a 4.4% growth in Morocco’s economy in the first quarter.
