The Moroccan pavilion won on Saturday the Award of Excellence for “Best Design and Decoration” at 2026 OTM (Outbound Travel Market) trade show, held in Mumbai, in recognition of the quality of its scenography and immersion.
Built on an area of 200 m² by the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT), the Moroccan pavilion stood out for its elegant staging combining tradition and modernity, highlighting the craftsmanship, culture, and visual identity of the Kingdom, Africa’s leading tourist destination.
Majestic arches, carved lanterns, projections of zellige patterns, and cultural animations offered visitors and tourism professionals a particularly attractive sensory experience.
This award comes in recognition of original concept and attention to detail, in a show that brought together more than 2,100 exhibitors from over 60 countries and attracted more than 50,000 professional visitors.
Nine Moroccan incoming travel agencies also took part in this edition, making the pavilion a strategic platform for increasing Morocco’s visibility as a destination, developing partnerships, and attracting new tourist flows.
Inaugurated on Thursday in the presence of His Majesty the King’s ambassador to New Delhi Mohamed Maliki, this three-day event is one of the main tourism events in India and Asia.
The Kingdom’s participation in this fair comes at a time of strong growth in Indian tourism to Morocco, with arrivals up 31% in 2025 compared to 2024 and 224% compared to 2019, confirming the growing appeal of the destination for Indian customers.
