Fuel accounts for nearly 30% of the turnover of Moroccan tourist transport companies, according to a report by the Moroccan Tourist Transport Organisation (OMTT), recently made public. The organisation is warning of the sector’s worsening financial situation and is calling for a rescue plan and dialogue with the new government.
Transport operators must also finance vehicles, insurance, maintenance, wages, social security contributions, spare parts and administrative costs. The OMTT believes that rising costs and falling margins are putting several companies at risk of failure and bankruptcy. Professionals interviewed for the report said that some were continuing to operate despite exhausting their cash reserves and accumulating financial commitments.
The warning comes as Morocco welcomed 19.8 million visitors in 2025, generating 138 billion dirhams in foreign-currency tourism receipts, according to data cited by the organisation. These results do not necessarily translate into an improvement in the financial position of transport companies, which provide, among other services, travel between airports, hotels, cities and tourist sites.
