Morocco is featured among the best world destinations
to visit in 2024, according to the “Travel” segment of the renowned media
outlet CNN.
CNN has highlighted in a recent feature on its
“Travel” segment, Morocco as one of the top 24 must-visit destinations for the
year 2024.
Morocco is one of the few African countries, alongside
Angola, to secure a spot on this prestigious list, joining the ranks of
destinations such as Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore, Chile, Canada and
others.
“A longtime travel favorite thanks to its diverse
landscape and spectacular architecture, Morocco has bounced back determinedly
after a devastating earthquake this past September,” CNN points out.
The media recommends that tourists explore other
lesser-known places in Morocco, such as Tetuan and Meknes, less crowded but
undoubtedly as enchanting as the popular cities of
Marrakech, Rabat, and Fez.
The media states that while visitors tend to
congregate in popular cities such as Marrakech, Rabat, and Fez, the country
certainly is not short of less crowded spots that are just as fascinating like
Tetuan and the historic Meknes, which is among the country’s nine UNESCO World
Heritage sites.
Also, “Morocco is proving to be a world leader when it
comes to sustainable tourism, with the launch of various initiatives to boost
its renewable energy generation,” the media states.
The media outlet highlights that “the country is home
to a number of important eco-friendly hotels, including the Berber-run Kasbah
du Toubkal, located at the foot of the spectacular High Atlas Mountains.”
Morocco’s ability to seamlessly blend tradition with
modernity, coupled with its commitment to sustainable tourism, positions it as
a compelling destination for global travelers in 2024.
The growing popularity of Morocco as a tourist
destination is reflected in the statistics, with the country attracting 13.2
million tourists as of November 2023.
Furthermore, revenues from the tourism sector
experienced a significant boost, jumping from MAD 84.12 billion in November
2022 ($8.5 billion) to MAD 97.4 billion in November 2023.
