CASABLANCA, MOROCCO - EQS Newswire - 11 November 2025 - As
hospitality and investment leaders prepare to gather at the Marriott
Hotel in Casablanca for the Morocco Showcase Summit on November 19-20,
2025, a critical question takes center stage: Is Morocco's hospitality
supply growth keeping pace with its rapid infrastructure development and
ambitious 2030 tourism targets'
With the nation poised to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the spotlight
is on identifying investment strategies to fill the impending
hospitality gap.
Morocco's significant infrastructure advancements are creating new
destinations and enhancing existing ones, demanding a parallel expansion
in quality hospitality supply to accommodate the influx of visitors.
International hotel groups are answering the call.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is leveraging its diverse brand portfolio
to bridge the supply gap. "We are committed to supporting Morocco's
Vision 2030 by expanding access to quality and affordable branded
accommodation across both established and emerging destinations," says
Govind Mundra, head of development for Middle East & Africa at
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. "With our diverse portfolio of 25 brands
and our Owner First franchising approach, we work closely with local
developers to deliver trusted international standards that enhance
Morocco's hospitality offering."
Wyndham's strategy includes expanding its current presence in Moroccan
cities, such as Fes and Tangier, into key cities like Casablanca,
Marrakesh, and Rabat, with advanced discussions underway for new
projects.
Similarly, Radisson Hotel Group has significantly elevated its
ambitions. "We've lifted our Morocco ambition to 30 hotels by 2030,
building on an already robust development pipeline and tightening our
city-plus-coast focus," says Erwan Garnier, Senior Director of
Development, Africa at Radisson Hotel Group. The strategy involves
"strengthening Casablanca and Marrakech while building out Rabat,
Tangier, Agadir, and Fez with a mix of business hotels, serviced
apartments, mixed-use projects, and resorts that track the country's
airport, rail, and stadium upgrades to 2030."
For Radisson, the opportunity is clear. "Record tourism and the 2030
World Cup are concentrating demand along key corridors as airports
expand and a new 115,000-seat stadium comes online," Garnier notes.
For management companies like Aleph Hospitality, scaling operations is
key to supporting this growth. A deeper, more responsive local presence
is central to Aleph's plan. "To better serve all hotels under our
management in Morocco, we will be opening a regional office in the first
quarter of 2026," reveals Bani Haddad, Founder & MD of Aleph
Hospitality. "This office will be led by a regional Vice President based
in Morocco, who will drive development efforts, enhance operational
performance, and ensure faster responsiveness to owners."
This expansion is fuelled by strong investor relationships. Aleph
Hospitality notes that more than 60% of its existing owners entrust
multiple properties to its management, a testament to a trust-based
approach focused on long-term value creation.
Beyond accommodation, the entire hospitality ecosystem requires
investment. TGP International, known for its expertise in food and
beverage (F&B) strategy for mega-events, is exploring opportunities
to support Morocco's tourism and hospitality value chain through
strategic F&B planning and concept development.
"From F&B master planning for mega events to developing world-class
restaurant concepts within hotels, our work explores emerging areas such
as food halls, wellness F&B and gastrotourism to build ecosystems
that strengthen the wider hospitality network," says Simon Wright,
Founder and Chairman of TGP International. He emphasizes that strategic
F&B can "not only enhance the guest experience but also express
national identity and cultural pride on the global stage."
The consensus is clear: Morocco's infrastructure growth presents an
unparalleled opportunity. The path to 2030 will be paved by a
collaborative effort from global brands, dedicated management companies,
strategic consultants, and a diverse network of investors.
