Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort Positioned as a Prime Destination for GCC Travelers Amid Morocco’s Record-Breaking Tourism Growth
Morocco is on track to achieve a record-breaking influx of international visitors, reporting a 13% increase in tourism during the first seven months of 2024. In this growth surge, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, located just 90 km south of Casablanca, has emerged as a top destination for Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) travelers, offering an authentic and family-friendly Moroccan experience.
Between January and July 2024, Morocco welcomed 7.4 million tourists, marking a 14% rise compared to the same period in 2023. This remarkable increase highlights Morocco’s successful efforts to diversify and expand its tourism sector across various regions, including Doukkala, where Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort is situated. The resort, overlooking Morocco’s stunning Atlantic coastline, combines luxury with cultural immersion, making it an ideal alternative to more crowded urban destinations.
Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort caters specifically to GCC families, offering connecting rooms and family-oriented services such as the Kidz Club and Rush Club. These facilities are designed to provide age-appropriate, engaging activities that ensure children and teenagers enjoy a safe and enriching environment. For adults, the resort features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by golfing legend Gary Player, offering a premier sporting experience with spectacular ocean views.
Jacques Claudel, General Manager of Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, shared, “Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort is committed to providing GCC travelers with a culturally immersive and comfortable experience that highlights the best of Moroccan hospitality. As Morocco sees unprecedented growth in its tourism sector, we continue to play a pivotal role in showcasing the unique attractions of the Doukkala region.”
Easily accessible from Casablanca’s international airport, Mazagan offers a gateway for GCC visitors to explore the Doukkala region’s rich cultural heritage. Guests can visit the UNESCO-listed city of El Jadida, known for its preserved Portuguese architecture and vibrant cultural festivals, adding an enriching layer to the resort experience.
