In 2023, Morocco saw a record-breaking 14.5 million visitors, marking a 34% rise compared to the previous year and surpassing the pre-pandemic high of 13 million in 2019. This growth aligns with the government’s ambitious USD 580 million initiative to strengthen the tourism sector, aiming to welcome 17.5 million tourists by 2026. As part of this strategy, Morocco plans to launch new airline routes in anticipation of co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal.
Bani Haddad, Founder and Managing Director of Aleph Hospitality says: “We are thrilled to have been trusted with the management of these two exceptional luxury resorts in Morocco. We have been waiting for the right partners and properties to enter Morocco with and we could not have asked for a better way for us to commence our operations in the Kingdom. This is an interesting time with the unprecedented surge in tourist arrivals and the government’s ambitious plans to boost the sector. We look forward to working with the owners to uplift the operations of the resorts and to make the most of the promising conditions in Morocco.”
