Morocco has plans to host around 80,000 Indian travelers in 2026, adding to the already impressive numbers of 54,000 Indian citizens who visited in 2025. This number increased by 31% over the previous year. This 2025 increase was the result of sustained promotional activities, the introduction of the e-visa system, and the increasing collaboration with Indian tour operators.
Morocco has a daily visitor average of 20 million, and in 2025, the number of Indian citizens who visited rose markedly to 54,000 from 41,000 in 2024. The increase was a result of promotional activities from the Moroccan National Tourism Office (MNTO) and the setting up of an India-specific tourism office in 2023, along with the collaboration of Indian tour operators. This resulted in a 123% increase in the number of Indian tourists to Morocco in 2024 compared to 2023.
The increasing number of travelers from India is largely due to the successful marketing campaign and the implementation of an e-visa system that enables travelers to obtain their visas in a matter of hours or within four working days. Consequently, travelers from India looking for an immersive travel experience now consider Morocco as one of the top travel destinations.
Morocco’s growing focus and segmentation in the travel industry from India is in line with the projected growth for Morocco in 2026. Among the Indian travelers, one of the strongest segments is the group travel segment. Morocco’s target segments also include MICE (Meetings, Incentives, and Conferences), destination weddings, and the FIT (Fully Independent Traveler) segment.
Morocco’s target demographic for their marketing campaigns also includes older travelers (50+ years), as they also travel more and prefer destinations that offer culture and relaxation. Morocco’s iconic cities (Marrakech, Fez) offer both leisure and cultural travel, in addition to the Sahara Desert.
Flights from India to Morocco still aren’t possible without a connecting flight. However, flying from India to the Middle East, and connecting to Morocco is a very reasonable option. Also, flights from India to Europe can be done without much inconvenience. Therefore, with the new possible connecting options, flight travel to Morocco from India is becoming more and more reasonable and is likely to attract further travel from India to Morocco.
India ranked as the 20th source market for Morocco. Future growth of travel from India to Morocco is expected as it is the second-largest source market for travel to Asia, only behind China, and is expected to rise to a top 10 source market for Morocco.Morocco’s goal is to market its cultural diversity, tourism, and natural resources to Indian travelers. Access to a diverse range of tourism experiences is a priority for Morocco as the number of Indian travelers continues to rise.
Morocco’s National Tourism Office hopes to reach 75,000 – 80,000 Indian visitors by 2026. This is based on an increasing number of visitors each year. In the following years, Morocco hopes to have its first 100,000 Indian visitors. This is an important milestone because it will mark India as one of the top countries visiting Morocco.
Morocco has the ability to become one of the most popular tourist destinations for Indian travelers. They have targeted helpful advertising, established partnerships, and a strong marketing focus. In 2026, more Indian travelers are expected to visit. International travel for Indians is becoming an emerging market, and Morocco will be a strong contender. Keeping travel simple and offering more available flights will increase the number of Indian travelers in the upcoming years.
