Moroccan tourists residing abroad recorded 4,408,250 arrivals. We notice a predominance of European countries (84% of foreign tourists), due to the geographical proximity; Indeed the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco facilitates home where the considerable body of French and Spanish tourists. Moreover, these two languages are most commonly spoken in the Moroccan territory, which is a major argument for the arrival of tourists.
