• Joined the CEO Majlis with H.E. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri
• Spoke with @jhworsley on where hotel capital goes next

🇲🇦🇦🇪 Porté par les perspectives ouvertes par le Mondial 2030, une croissance record du tourisme et l’essor de l’hôtellerie de luxe, le secteur marocain attire un nombre croissant d’investisseurs étrangers.
Entre le rachat du Four Seasons Resort de Marrakech, la relance de Mogador-Essaouira et le développement de nouveaux complexes, les groupes émiratis multiplient les opérations.
Les Émirats arabes unis s’imposent progressivement comme l’un des partenaires les plus actifs du Maroc dans l’hôtellerie.
