Morocco’s flagging tourism industry has been given a boost with Ramada hotel group planning to build eight new hotels across the country.
It is hoped that the properties, planned for Marrakesh, Rabat, Casablanca and Agadir, will help reverse the county’s tourism economy, which has shrunk to 2007 levels due to the global downturn.
The announcement was made by Fawaz Majid Al Badr, CEO of Al-Tameer investment group, the Kuwaiti owner of Ramada, at the opening of the new Ramada Fes.
