Everything we get asked about travel agencies.
Can I sell trips without a license, online only?
No. Article 3 of law 11-16 prohibits the travel agent activity without a license, and remote or electronic sales remain subject to the same regime (article 1). Operating without a license carries a fine of 5,000 to 50,000 DH, raised on repeat offence to 50,000 to 100,000 DH with 2 to 6 months in prison (article 31).
Organizer-distributor or distributor: which license?
Law 11-16 provides two licenses: « organizer-distributor » to design and sell your own trips, « distributor » to sell others'. The choice depends on your model: we settle it together when drafting your company's corporate purpose.
What conditions must I meet as director?
Article 6 requires a natural person meeting conditions of nationality or regular residence, age, commercial capacity, absence of certain convictions, and training or experience. In case of vacancy, the replacement must occur within a maximum of 3 months.
How much is the financial guarantee?
The law does not set the amount itself: article 7 of law 11-16 refers the details to a regulatory text. Budget for the continuous financial guarantee and professional liability insurance; your Charikaty legal advisor points you to the available banking schemes.
How is a travel agency's VAT computed?
On commissions and/or the margin (2026 Tax Code, article 96-12°). Article 125 quater organizes the margin regime for travel services used in Morocco: margin = amounts received minus supplier invoices, non-deductible VAT on those services, and mandatory separate accounting. Your Charikaty accountant structures both flows from day one.
