Morocco has reopened its borders to British tourists from today, 7 February, following one of its longest ever bans for UK travellers.
The north African country first banned direct flights from the UK, Germany and the Netherlands on 20 October.
The chief executive of the Moroccan National Tourist Office (MNTO), Adel El Fakir, told The Independent that the 16-week closure to UK flights was decided on health grounds.
“All the decisions that have been taken, be it by Morocco or any country during this pandemic, has depended on the health situation – nothing else,” he said.
Now, Mr El Fakir has confirmed that the country is welcoming back UK travellers as of 7 February.
“The whole sector today is very excited to welcome back people from around the world, especially the UK,” he said.
“Welcome is in our DNA.”
