Morocco unveils 2030 World Cup plan
Morocco plans to increase its hotel capacity by approximately 60,000 additional beds by the time it hosts the 2030 World Cup, which represents one-fifth of the country's current hotel capacity. This will be achieved through investments exceeding $20 billion in infrastructure and transportation. This initiative comes as an effort to capitalize on the media and sporting attention following the Moroccan national team’s advancement to the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, in order to boost the tourism sector, which contributes 7% to the GDP and provides hundreds of thousands of jobs. Additionally, Morocco aims to diversify its tourist destinations, with Rabat set to become a hub for cultural and sporting events, along with improvements in international flights and efforts to attract tourists from China, the United States, and Middle Eastern countries.
