World Cup 2030 Rabat Hotels Expansion Morocco Tourism

To host the 2030 World Cup, the Moroccan capital is accelerating the development of its hotel park. The objective is to quickly fill the shortage of rooms in order to compete with Spanish and Portuguese tourist infrastructure.

Morocco has launched a vast action plan to bring itself up to the level of its European co-organizers of the football tournament. Facing an initial deficit in accommodation, the authorities are massively accelerating administrative procedures. Currently, around fifty tourist complexes are under construction or awaiting final authorization on the territory. At the heart of this catch-up strategy, the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region is capturing a major proportion of new investment projects.
