Since November 2024, Morocco has dethroned Egypt, recording 15.9 million tourist arrivals compared with 15.7 million for Egypt over the first 11 months.
However, Egypt’s Prime Minister predicts that the country will welcome 18 million tourists by 2025, thanks to the opening of the Great Egyptian Museum and the development of its infrastructure.
In Morocco, the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations is also expected to boost tourist numbers.
According to a recent study published by IATA (International Air Transport Association) entitled The Value of Air Transport in 82 Countries, it is worth looking at the contribution of air transport to the GDP of these countries around the world.
In the Top 5 contributions to GDP, Egypt tops the list with a contribution of US$21.1 billion. Morocco ranks second, with a contribution of $11.2 billion.
In third place is South Africa with 5.7 billion dollars, followed by Tanzania (3.8 billion) and Kenya (3.3 billion).
