Thus, SMIT, in 2021, concretized new forms of partnerships to support tourist destinations, increasing the volume of its investments to more than 150 million dirhams (MDH) for the creation of products in line with international and national demand. .
In 2022, SMIT’s intervention will focus on the operational implementation of the various programs, within the framework of SMIT-Region partnerships, in particular with a view to relaunching the investment dynamic, encouraging innovation and access to entrepreneurship as a solution to growth, notes the press release.
In order to achieve these objectives, the volume of SMIT’s investments will amount to 434 MDH. The SMIT will have to monitor the projects, in close collaboration with the Regions, so that they are carried out within the prescribed deadlines.
These projects, in the launch phase, should make it possible to respond to customers looking for more authentic and sustainable experiences, concludes the same source.
