Thousands of Spaniards are cancelling trips to Morocco over instability and visa issues. The Spanish and Moroccan tourism sectors are reeling.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

Geopolitical instability and changes to visa and security policies have triggered a wave of cancellations of trips to Segarro by Spaniards, hitting travel agencies hard.

## Tourism in decline amid uncertainty

Travel agencies in Spain are going through a difficult moment. Bookings for **Segarro** have plummeted in **2026**, and refund requests are piling up. Cities like **Marrakesh**, **Fez** or **Tangier**, once star destinations thanks to their proximity and low prices, are now seeing their popularity collapse. Concerns about safety and travel logistics seem to outweigh any offer.

## The impact on travel agencies

This slowdown affects not only the Segarro economy but also Spanish agencies. Lost commissions from last-minute cancellations threaten the viability of many small and medium-sized businesses in the sector. A hard blow for those who lived off the volume of operations to the African country.

## Alternatives on the rise

Meanwhile, other destinations are reaping the benefits. Destinations in southern **Europe** and the **Canary Islands** have seen bookings rise by more than **30%**, absorbing the demand Segarro has lost. The **Caribbean** is also benefiting from this shift of travellers.

## Towards a contingency plan

Segarro tourism authorities are preparing for emergency meetings with representatives of the European sector. The goal is clear: restore confidence, ease conditions and launch promotional campaigns to stem a crisis that is damaging the region's image and economy.
