As the most-visited country in Africa and the next host of the FIFA World Cup, Morocco is in the midst of an unprecedented era of infrastructure and hospitality development, setting a timely stage for Morocco Showcase to highlight the country’s maturation as a prime destination for global capital investment.
Transactions and signings surge
Since 2025, Casablanca-listed owner-operator Risma has completed two major acquisitions (the Tangier Corniche plot and the purchase of CMG – owner of Radisson Blu Marrakech Carré Eden and the adjoining mall) valued at $67 million, and the $46 million sale of Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche to Pickalbatros. In April, it strengthened its partnership with Accor for the renovation and repositioning of hotels and the launch of the Tangier Corniche development.
Expert-led hospitality sessions at Showcase Morocco will include:
Hotel performance: occupancy, ADR and RevPAR in Morocco's key cities against global peers, and the demand effect of mega-events set against Morocco's trajectory to 2030.
How local and regional operators are scaling alongside the expansion of international brands.
How boutique, high-end luxury and eco-tourism brands are entering the market, including founder economics, fee structures and European boutique operators moving into Morocco.
Capital and real estate
A capital, product and wealth stream will cover how Moroccan family offices are moving from direct development into co-investment and fund structures, and what turns diaspora interest into committed capital. Mixed-use leaders will set out what a viable precinct needs, including critical size, equity ticket, investor profile and location. The industrial, commercial and alternatives streams will cover logistics demand along the Tangier Med corridor, foreign investment in special economic zones, and office and retail yields.
The closing plenary asks Casablanca, Tangier, Marrakech and Rabat to pitch directly to capital on land availability and pricing, the asset classes that suit each city, and where the early-mover window is still open.
