Tourism Boom: Morocco kept its momentum rolling, welcoming 7.7 million visitors in the first five months of 2026 (up 7% year-on-year), with May alone hitting 1.7 million (+13%), as the Ministry of Tourism points to stronger infrastructure, more hotel capacity, and better international connectivity. Air Connectivity: Royal Air Maroc launched a new non-stop Casablanca–Los Angeles route, operating three times a week, a boost for the Moroccan diaspora, US West Coast travelers, and World Cup-era demand. World Cup Travel Angle: With Morocco set to face Brazil in the US, fans are also getting practical viewing and trip ideas tied to host cities—like Miami’s Coconut Grove planning match-day events for Brazil vs Morocco—showing how sport is feeding tourism plans. Labor & Safety Watch: A Moroccan agricultural workers’ union in Spain is calling for stronger protections after reports of a Moroccan seasonal worker death in Huelva amid extreme heat. Community & Rights: In Al Hoceima, a women’s solidarity convoy renewed calls for the release of Hirak Rif prisoners, highlighting how travel and tourism news can intersect with human rights and local activism.
