In a significant achievement, Morocco has surpassed its employment creation target set forth in the 2023-2026 roadmap, which aimed to generate 80,000 additional job positions by 2026. According to the latest data released by the High Commission for Planning, the number of direct job positions reached 894,000 in 2025, a substantial increase from 802,000 positions in 2022. This represents a remarkable growth of 92,000 jobs over a three-year period, indicating a positive trend that exceeds the initial objective.
The same source highlighted that these results are part of an overall positive performance across various indicators. Morocco welcomed nearly 20 million tourists in 2025, surpassing its target of 17.5 million visitors anticipated by 2026. Additionally, the revenue from tourism in foreign currency reached 138 billion dirhams, marking an increase of 18 billion dirhams compared to the set goal for 2026.

She further noted that these figures validate the effectiveness of the adopted strategy and highlight the crucial role of tourism as a driver of growth and job creation.
The Moroccan National Tourist Office is actively promoting Morocco's diverse tourist destinations through channels such as France Télévisions, and the country is showcasing its tourism offerings at the International Tourism Fair in Berlin.
