Morocco plans 20% hotel growth before 2030 World Cup
The Kingdom of Morocco plans to increase its hotel capacity by 60,000 beds, representing about 20% of the current total, by the time it hosts the 2030 World Cup as part of its strategy to boost the tourism sector. Morocco added 45,000 hotel beds over the past four years, bringing the total number of hotel beds to over 300,000. Last year, the country welcomed approximately 20 million tourists and aspires to raise this number to 26 million visitors by 2030. Additionally, the country expects tourism revenues to reach 161 billion dirhams ($17.25 billion) in 2027, with a focus on improving air connectivity to attract tourists from China, the United States, and the Middle East. These efforts are part of a broader plan to leverage the hosting of the 2030 World Cup, which will be held in three countries—Morocco, Spain, and Portugal—aiming to strengthen the national economy and promote sustainable tourism in the long term.
