Brussels Tourism Business Mission to Morocco

09/11/2613/11/26

From 9 to 13 November 2026, hub.brussels invites you to Morocco to explore the opportunities offered by a tourism sector undergoing rapid transformation. From Rabat to Casablanca and Marrakech, come and meet key market players, expand your network, and unlock new business opportunities.

About

Morocco’s tourism sector is experiencing remarkable growth. In 2025, the Kingdom welcomed 19.8 million tourists, representing a 14% increase in just one year, confirming its position as Africa’s leading tourist destination ahead of Egypt. Morocco is now aiming to attract 26 million visitors by 2030.

This ambition is supported by a major programme to develop and modernise the country’s tourism offering. Currently, 75 hotel projects are in the pipeline, representing more than 10,600 rooms, while several billion euros in investments will be required to support this growth through to 2030.

This momentum creates numerous opportunities for Belgian companies, particularly in:

  • Architecture and design
  • Hospitality and Horeca equipment and solutions
  • Technology and digitalisation
  • Energy and water efficiency
  • Customer experience solutions
  • Events and entertainment
  • Training and skills development
  • Services for tourism operators

This mission offers privileged access to the stakeholders shaping Morocco’s tourism industry. The programme includes targeted B2B meetings with tourism operators, developers and hotel groups, meetings with leading institutional stakeholders, project visits and networking opportunities.

A unique opportunity to explore the market, meet decision-makers, showcase your expertise, and identify new business and partnership opportunities in Morocco.
