Morocco Tourism Office at the Berlin Tourism Fair Strengthens Position in Germany, Boosting New Air Connectivity, Partnerships and Tourism Impact
At the Berlin International Tourism Fair that will be held from March 3-5, Morocco’s National Tourism Office (ONMT) is working very hard to consolidate its position in the German market. The prestigious tourism fair has managed to attract close to 6,000 exhibitors from over 170 destinations. ONMT is using this opportunity to promote the tourism potential of Morocco in the German market, which happens to be one of its major source markets.
With the objective of increasing tourist traffic, air links, as well as ties with German airlines, ONMT is working very hard to boost tourism between the two countries. The tourism fair provides a perfect opportunity to attract more tourists to Morocco, especially with its strategic focus on new routes as well as ties with key tourism stakeholders in the German market.
Strengthening Air Connectivity: A Major Focus for ONMT
At the heart of ONMT’s strategy to attract more German visitors to Morocco is the enhancement of air connectivity. The tourism office has signed agreements with leading German airlines such as Condor, Eurowings, and Discover Airlines. These agreements aim to increase capacity on existing routes and open new connections to several high-demand Moroccan destinations.
One of the key initiatives in this campaign is the expansion of Royal Air Maroc’s operations to Germany. The airline has already begun new routes, including a direct link between Nador and Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, alongside the newly launched Casablanca-Munich route. These new connections are expected to further increase Moroccan-German air traffic, providing more options for German tourists to explore Morocco’s rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cities. The improved connectivity is not only expected to boost tourism but also enhance business exchanges and cultural ties between the two nations.
Launching a Plan to Strengthen Morocco’s Market Presence in Germany
ONMT’s participation in the Berlin fair is more than just a promotional effort. The tourism office is also using this platform to launch a comprehensive plan aimed at reinforcing Morocco’s position in the German market. With Germany now being Morocco’s seventh-largest source market, accounting for 5% of international arrivals, ONMT is aiming to increase this percentage by expanding travel flows and solidifying partnerships with key German travel operators.
The tourism fair offers a significant opportunity for ONMT to reach German travelers, allowing the office to showcase Morocco’s diverse tourism offerings. The plan focuses on several Moroccan regions, including Oriental, Fez-Meknes, and Souss-Massa, all of which are rapidly growing as must-visit destinations in the country. These regions are highlighted to attract a diverse range of German tourists, offering everything from cultural heritage to luxury resorts and eco-tourism experiences.
This tourism impact is expected to extend beyond just tourist arrivals. As more German visitors flock to Morocco, local economies in key tourism hotspots are poised for growth, providing economic opportunities, especially in hospitality, transportation, and services. By attracting more German tourists, ONMT aims to stimulate job creation, regional economic development, and investment in infrastructure, all of which contribute to Morocco’s broader tourism development strategy.
Official Inauguration and Strong Support from Key Stakeholders
A key highlight of the fair was the official inauguration of the Moroccan pavilion, attended by Zohour Alaoui, Morocco’s Ambassador to Germany. The pavilion, which spans over 1,000 square meters, serves as a dynamic space to showcase Morocco’s tourism assets and engage with industry professionals. Over 140 tourism professionals are deployed to represent Morocco at the fair, ensuring that the country’s offerings are effectively showcased to a wide international audience.
The Moroccan pavilion provides a unique opportunity for German and international visitors to learn about the country’s top attractions, including its ancient cities, coastal resorts, desert landscapes, and cultural heritage sites. This structured presence is designed to boost sales, attract new visitors, and strengthen existing tourism partnerships. The economic impact of showcasing Morocco in this setting is significant as it not only promotes tourism but also draws attention to the broader economic opportunities that come with strengthening the tourism sector.
Strengthening Key Partnerships and Driving Growth
A critical part of ONMT’s effort to boost tourist arrivals from Germany is its strengthened partnerships with key players in the travel industry. One significant partnership includes a new agreement with TUI Group, a global leader in the tourism sector, alongside an agreement with Der, Germany’s second-largest tour operator. The collaboration with Der aims to achieve a 25% growth in visitor numbers over the next three years.
These partnerships are vital for ensuring that Morocco’s tourism sector continues to grow and remain competitive in the face of shifting global travel trends. By increasing its share of the German market, ONMT is positioning Morocco as a top destination for German travelers, offering them diverse experiences across its cities, mountains, and beaches. The tourism impact extends beyond numbers; it will generate new revenue streams, drive sustainable tourism, and support local businesses in the Moroccan tourism sector.
Morocco’s Growing Appeal: 930,000 German Tourists in 2025
The ongoing efforts of ONMT are already yielding positive results. In 2025, more than 930,000 German tourists visited Morocco, marking an 11% increase compared to 2024. This growth reflects the growing popularity of Morocco as a tourist destination for German travelers who are increasingly seeking exotic and culturally rich experiences abroad.
As Germany remains one of the top markets for Moroccan tourism, ONMT’s focused campaign to increase flight connectivity, establish new routes, and promote Morocco’s diverse regions is expected to further boost tourism growth. The increase in direct flights, coupled with Morocco’s expanded marketing efforts, will likely lead to even more German travelers choosing Morocco as their next destination. This increase in tourism traffic will directly impact Morocco’s economy by creating more jobs in the tourism, hospitality, and service sectors.
A Bright Future for Moroccan Tourism in Germany
With a stronger presence at the Berlin Tourism Fair, a renewed emphasis on improving air connectivity, and the introduction of its new strategic plan, ONMT is positioning itself to continue to grow tourism from Germany. As Morocco improves its market positioning, it is in a prime position to continue to attract more and more German tourists, who can experience the luxury and adventure that Morocco has to offer in one of the most diverse and interesting countries in North Africa.
With its work at the Berlin Tourism Fair and its continued work in improving air connectivity, tourism marketing, and strategic partnerships, ONMT is positioning Morocco to continue to be one of the top destinations in Germany for many years to come. The tourism industry will not only continue to grow in terms of numbers, but it will also continue to bring economic benefit to Morocco in the long term.
