Briton Richard Branson intends to invest again in Morocco. In this regard, he visited Dakhla, a city known for its tourist assets.
Richard Branson, British entrepreneur and founder of the Virgin Group, recently made a visit to Dakhla to assess investment opportunities, particularly in the hotel and kitesurfing industries, reports the regional news portal Dakhla Spot Online.
The billionaire arrived in Morocco aboard his private jet. He performed a downwind kitesurfing session to the White Dune for 1.5 hours, the same source specifies. He went to Marrakech before heading to Dakhla. Accompanied by his friends, he explored various sites in the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region.
