As Morocco co-hosts the 2030 Football World Cup with Spain and Portugal, the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) invited some 80 decision-makers to Saint-Etienne’s legendary Stade Geoffrey Guichard on Wednesday 24 July , on the occasion of the World Cup.
Guests of the Moroccan National Tourist Office were delighted to gather within the confines of the Geoffrey Guichard Stadium (the legendary “Cauldron”) to watch a match full of twists and turns. In front of a large crowd passionate about the Moroccan cause, the young Atlas Lions defeated Argentina 2-1.
Olympic torch suspended
It is not without emotion, because the result is recorded after endless suspense. Enough to spark scenes of jubilation, especially at the Lyon-Badie station. During this joyful moment, many guests took photos next to the Olympic flame. Another lifetime of memories.
The promotion, held in Saint-Etienne as part of the Olympic Games, demonstrates Morocco’s huge appeal to French tourists. As of June 30, 2024, visitor numbers to the destination increased by 14% compared to the same period last year. “We observed an increase of 42% compared to 2019. I believe this is the last year we are talking about before the COVID-19 outbreak”, stressed Jiahd Chakib, director of the French Food Safety Authority.Morocco National Tourist Office.
An increasingly popular destination for French tourists
This enthusiasm can also be explained by the multiplication of air links. Just like Dakhla, a little paradise in the south of the country is very popular with water sports and skateboarding enthusiasts.
“In partnership with Royal Air Maroc and Transavia, we have three flights per week,” explains ONMT’s French director. Recent flights to Rashidiya in eastern Morocco or Tetouan in the north also opened up new perspectives on the destination. We also need to remember that France remains the main source market for Moroccan destinations.
Extremely rich sports products
A popular destination for its sporting activities. Advanced equipment, geographical and climatic diversity, Morocco has everything to please and seduce outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, mountain biking, surfing, kitesurfing, horse riding… everything you need is here. Like the Sousmasa region or the High Atlas region, each region has its characteristics and offers the possibility of sports in optimal conditions.
