Key projects include a 4-star hotel-club with 80 rooms in the province of Sefrou, featuring leisure and sports facilities such as swimming pools, a water park, sports fields, and entertainment spaces. The project aims to modernize local accommodation and strengthen the province’s tourism appeal.

Other projects are spread across several provinces. In Boulemane, initiatives include a tourist lodge in Enjil and an ecomuseum with lodges in El Orjane. In Taounate, planned developments include a guesthouse and leisure park in Ourtzagh, and a 3-star tourist residence in Al Kissane.

In Taza province, projects will take place in Bab Boudir (lodge and hotel-club), Smia (lodge), Matmata (3-star hotel), and Bouchfaa (lodge and interpretation center at Tazekka National Park). El Hajeb will also host a hotel with a minimum 3-star rating.
