Tourism Minister: Morocco Attracted 200,000 Chinese Tourists in 2018

The real amount of Chinese tourists in Morocco rose from 10,000 in 2015 to 200,000 people nearly this year, in line with the minister of tourism Mohamed Sajid. He met with the Chinese deputy minister of tourism and culture, Li Jinzao, sunday in Marrakesh.

Sajid said both countries will sign an agreement this week to arrange a cultural and tourism year of Morocco in China and another event honoring China in Morocco in 2020.

”This clear progress in bilateral relations came after King Mohamed VI visited China in 2016,” the minister said. ”The real amount of Chinese tourists in Morocco surged after it removed visas for Chinese nationals,” added Sajid.
