As of February, nearly 819 projects have been validated under the "Go Siyaha" program, according to Fatim-Zahra Ammor, the Minister of Tourism, Craft, and Social Economy. This announcement was made during a session at the House of Representatives on Monday.
Responding to an oral question about the program from the National Rally of Independents group, Ammor highlighted that the validated projects already exceed half of the program's target, achieved in just one year.
The Minister further elaborated that 746 companies are receiving technical support, with an investment of 85 million dirhams (MDH). This support aims to help businesses enhance service quality, accelerate digital transformation, improve skills, diversify markets, and optimize energy consumption.
Additionally, the program benefits 46 tourism and recreational animation projects, which received an investment of approximately 300 MDH, with subsidies estimated at 90 MDH. These projects encompass a wide range of activities such as surfing, sandboarding, fishing, boat excursions, equestrian clubs, and climbing walls.
