On Tuesday, the city of Dakhla hosted a key stop on the national “Go Siyaha Days” tour, an initiative designed to drive regional investment in Morocco’s growing tourism sector. Held under the leadership of the Secretary General for Regional Affairs in the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region and the Director General of Maroc PME, the event spotlighted government-backed support mechanisms for entrepreneurs—particularly those aligned with the royal vision for development in the southern provinces.
Anouar Alaoui Ismaili, head of Maroc PME, emphasized that this mobile initiative serves as a practical tool for rolling out the national support program for tourism businesses, which aims to assist over 1,700 enterprises across the country. In Dakhla, the sessions offered detailed guidance on eligibility criteria and the latest measures easing access to financial support—especially for companies focused on sustainable tourism.
Representing the provincial tourism office, Mohamed Mostakim Chelhawi noted that the Dakhla stop aims to raise awareness of the investment framework outlined in the 2023–2026 strategic roadmap. He praised the range and creativity of the projects presented, highlighting their potential to bring both innovation and ambition to the region.
Topics explored during the event included ecological tourism, sports tourism, business travel, and the development of desert landscapes—each reflecting Dakhla’s unique blend of natural beauty and strategic value as a rising destination on Morocco’s tourism map.
Participants included officials from the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Handicrafts and the Social and Solidarity Economy, along with local elected officials, investors, and project developers. Launched in March 2025, the caravan will continue its nationwide journey through the fall, culminating in a November evaluation to strengthen public-private coordination and enhance impact.
