Morocco has emerged as the leading travel destination for Quebec travelers this summer, surpassing the United States.
New data from FlightHub reveals that Morocco now accounts for 12% of all international bookings from Quebec. This marks a rise from 11% in 2025, while the United States has dropped to 10% from 12%.
Morocco Overtakes US as Top Destination
According to FlightHub, the Montreal–Casablanca route is the most booked international route from Quebec for the summer of 2025 and 2026. The report indicates that around 70% of Canadian travelers are still avoiding US travel, highlighting a shift in preferences toward North Africa.
France ranks third with 6% of bookings, while both Portugal and Tunisia follow closely at 5% each. This trend underscores a growing interest in Moroccan culture and tourism among Quebec travelers.
Key Factors Driving Travel to Morocco
The rise in travel to Morocco is attributed to the linguistic comfort for French-speaking Quebecers, as French is widely spoken in Casablanca. This city serves as a gateway to various Moroccan destinations, enhancing its appeal.
FlightHub’s Director of Brand Marketing and Communication noted that the data reflects a concentrated demand for specific Moroccan locations, rather than a broad distribution across the country.
