A NEW DUBAI?

Thursday, 09 Oct 2008

Morocco’s king, King Mohamed VI, is of the opinion that Morocco will most certainly continue to grow to the point that Dubai has grown, if not more. If he’s correct in his thoughts, then the amount of available accommodation in Morocco is set to increase even more in years to come. He anticipates a major need for more property in Morocco to be developed, in the line of hotels and other accommodations, due to the Vision 2010 concept that he’s implemented. The concept involves a monetary outlay of $61 billion and is anticipated to create well over 600,000 jobs.

Part of the king’s concept will include the development of property in Morocco such as six brand new major seaside holiday destinations. The one planned development will be situated at Meditterania-Saidia on the north coast, while the other five are planned for development will be located on the Atlantic coast.

The Mediterrania-Saidia property in Morocco will fill 1,800 acres of land and will comprise of lovely track for jogging along four miles of stunning beach, a sizeable marina, and at least three golf courses, a hospital, as well as huge sports and shopping facilities. Those involved in organisation have started a school to train hotel employees, and the construction of 3,000 affordable units to house the hotel staff is already underway.

The new resort property in Morocco will also include ten typical resorts that haven’t been allocated yet to any particular brand name. The balance of the 11 development slots are being developed by a Marbella-based company, Property Logic, and will be collectively branded as Le Jardin de Fleur. Le Jardin de Fleur is still currently a construction site for the most part, but basic amenities are already in working order, including electricity.
