Morocco: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MO2021-0020

Morocco’s hotel, restaurant and institutional industry (HRI) experienced an unprecedented shutdown due to state of health emergency measures related to COVID-19. Morocco’s HRI industry is struggling due to a drop-off in tourism and COVID-19 measures that restricted restaurant dining in 2021. Implementation of the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement (FTA) resulted in the phase-out of many tariffs for consumer-oriented products in 2020.
