The Ministry of Tourism, Crafts and the Social and Solidarity Economy and the Moroccan Society of Tourism Engineering (SMIT), are launching the “Tourism Project Bank”, a digital platform, which aims to stimulate investment Moroccan tourism, particularly among young people.
A catalyst for tourism investment
As part of the 2023-2026 tourism roadmap, the Tourism Project Bank offers a catalog of more than 200 standard projects serving as inspiring and replicable models across the territory. With a long-term objective of 600 projects, this initiative aims to enrich the offer of tourist experiences in different areas of the country. Each project is carefully detailed and includes the estimated investment amount, expected turnover, operational profitability, and even projected employment. Investment opportunities range from 100,000 dirhams to 10 million dirhams, catering to a wide range of investors.
“The Tourism Project Bank complements the existing ecosystem of incentive measures. Faced with the numerous opportunities offered by the Moroccan tourism sector, this innovative platform considerably simplifies the investment process. It allows you to quickly identify the most promising projects thanks to a system of filters by region, by type of activity and by tourism sector. The platform also provides detailed and ready-to-use project sheets, thus offering a turnkey solution to potential investors. » declares Fatim-Zahra Ammor, Minister of Tourism, Crafts and Social and Solidarity Economy.
Tailor-made support
The Tourism Project Bank does not just present opportunities. It also directs investors towards comprehensive support. From the initial idea to realization, including easy access to state subsidies, the platform considerably simplifies the entrepreneurial journey.
A diversity of opportunities
Covering the 14 thematic and transversal sectors of the Roadmap, the Tourism Project Bank places emphasis on innovation and sustainability. It offers unique and attractive concepts such as:
* Maritime activities: dolphin watching excursions, glass-bottom boat trips, sport fishing, etc.
