00:00In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:30In the name of the Father, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
01:00In the name of the Father, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
01:30In the name of the Father, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
02:00Welcome.
02:04I'll start with you, Mr. Al-Nasiri.
02:06I'll start on the right.
02:08Everyone imagines the economic consequences of this global event,
02:15the great international event, and the promotion of it.
02:18The countries that organized these sports events,
02:22and that produced results at all levels.
02:26With Spain and Portugal, is Morocco ready for this development?
02:32Of course.
02:34The difference is that we are not in the stage of imagination,
02:38but we have already started.
02:40It is expected.
02:42There are already several projects on the level of cities in the first stage.
02:48For example, the expansion of roads between the White House and the big stadium in Ben Salman.
02:55The expansion of the big stadium in Rabat,
03:00as well as the expansion of other stadiums such as Tanja, Agadir, and Marrakesh.
03:06So there are projects.
03:08There is a job opportunity.
03:10Morocco has been involved in it.
03:12Morocco has been involved in it.
03:14There are also projects that have now become a reality,
03:19such as the high-speed train between Marrakesh, Tanja, and Agadir.
03:25This week, it was announced that the companies that will carry out the civil engineering studies of this project,
03:35and we are proud that there are more than four large Moroccan companies,
03:40Chinese, Turkish, and French companies will participate in this project.
03:45So, the job opportunity has now begun.
03:47We have already started the first direct investment, which is the creation of job opportunities.
03:54The strengthening of infrastructure for several cities,
03:57as we mentioned, especially Rabat, the White House, Marrakesh, and Agadir.
04:05Tanja is facing many of the things that need to be done in this area.
04:14If you look at the technical committees of FIFA,
04:20it seems that the benefits have already started to emerge from now until the next generations.
04:28Mr. Al-Alawi, the period before the organization is the most important.
04:33Because what will be prepared is the development on the level of road construction,
04:38on the level of hotels, on the level of various facilities.
04:42What is the basis of Morocco's development and legacy for the coming generations?
04:48Of course, Ms. Asma'a, although you insist on talking about the coming generations,
04:56but I can assure you that for the Kingdom of Morocco,
05:00we can talk about reaping the fruits of this global development in the near, medium, and far future.
05:10Because we know that an organization like this has pre-existing benefits,
05:15benefits during and after the organization of these demonstrations.
05:20If you allow me, I will give some numbers to confirm this assumption
05:26of what the state will get from an organization like this.
05:30I will give three examples of previous countries in an organization like this.
05:36I will give an example of an African country, an European country, and an example of Qatar.
05:43If we take South Africa, for example,
05:46we can see the income of it before organizing this demonstration in 2009,
05:50and we can see the income of it after organizing this demonstration in 2011.
05:55Of course, it was the World Cup in 2010.
05:58There was an increase between 2009 and 2011 of 40% of GDP,
06:06and there was an increase of 32% of the individual income of each citizen.
06:14Therefore, today, people who argue on the basis of what the Moroccan citizen will get from an organization like these demonstrations,
06:22the numbers confirm that there are great and very great benefits.
06:27Of course, we are now facing a program for the Moroccan Kingdom
06:33to have a positive change in the national economy beyond 2035.
06:39So, with a simple calculation, even if the numbers are disappointing,
06:43for example, if we had 4% of the annual GDP starting from 2025,
06:50with a simple calculation, if we traveled through the period of 2031,
06:55we would have reached an income of 210 billion dirhams.
07:01Therefore, we would have reached more than 50% starting from 2024 in the increase of the income.
07:08We will take this calculation to Germany in 2006.
07:13If we look at the income in 2005,
07:16there was an increase of 13% in the income,
07:20and more than 10% in the individual income.
07:24These are the numbers that speak for themselves,
07:26and confirm that such demonstrations are not just normal sports demonstrations,
07:31but there is a very important economic transformation in the economic structure of each country.
07:37If we take Qatar, there was a simple increase.
07:41Of course, there are reasons for this,
07:44because they speak for the size of the domestic consumer,
07:49they also speak for the geography and the area of the country.
07:52Also, the strategic location is very important,
07:55because today it speaks for the Moroccan Kingdom as a gateway to Europe for Africa,
07:59and as a gateway to Africa for Europe.
08:01Therefore, these data are very important for the Moroccan Kingdom,
08:05and I believe that we will reach the targets set in 2035.
08:11Qatar, as I said, had an increase of only 10%,
08:15so the calculation I gave you is only a pessimistic calculation.
08:20In the worst cases, the individual income of Moroccan citizens
08:27may increase by more than 15% in 2031.
08:33Therefore, we are not only talking about the coming generations,
08:36but we are also talking about building a very strong Moroccan economy.
08:40Of course, there will be an opportunity to talk about the Moroccan cooperation,
08:45and the contribution of the Moroccan cooperation,
08:47as Mr. Al-Karim said,
08:49the Moroccan cooperation that will contribute to the realization of this infrastructure.
08:54And there is no doubt,
08:57from today, we will have a very strong Moroccan economy.
09:04Why?
09:05Because there is a Moroccan cooperation in infrastructure,
09:09and it has the opportunity to support it as state institutions,
09:18as Moroccan banks,
09:20and it has the opportunity to contribute to the preparation of this demonstration.
09:27Of course, we know that there were problems after 2020,
09:32the liquidity of some contracts,
09:35so this is an opportunity for the Kingdom of Morocco
09:37so that we do not go back in history,
09:40so that we strengthen the body of the Moroccan economy
09:43by strengthening the Moroccan contracts.
09:46We know that the national economic structure sometimes has problems,
09:50for example, taxes or problems with banks,
09:53but we see this tax contribution of these national contracts,
09:58in the national economy and in the treasury of the state,
10:00so that we strengthen it,
10:02so that it returns to its original state.
10:05So, as I said, this is a decisive stage for the Kingdom of Morocco
10:09so that we move at a rapid pace in economic growth.
10:13Yes, it is also a decisive stage for moving at a rapid pace
10:16in the implementation of projects,
10:18in the implementation of a set of policies,
10:21and this is an opportunity for Morocco.
10:23Mr. Dries Lailaoui, you talked about the participation of the Moroccan negotiations,
10:27and there is also talk about the participation of all the youth
10:31and the Moroccans abroad in this international event,
10:35and the Africans.
10:37Of course, we should not take this participation as a single stone,
10:45but we should remember that when the Moroccans wanted to adopt
10:50a new development model,
10:53they participated in the civil society
10:55and also the Moroccan community abroad.
10:58When the new city was established,
11:05the youth, the Moroccan community abroad,
11:09and the civil society participated.
11:11So, this is not new to Morocco,
11:13that in demonstrations and major events,
11:19all the members of the Moroccan community participate,
11:24including the Moroccan community abroad.
11:30This participation is not common,
11:33and it is not just for the sake of mentioning it,
11:36or for marketing,
11:39but it brings very important results.
11:42As we know, for example,
11:46this is a sports demonstration,
11:48the youth are the most active and participate in this field.
11:54So, from now on, the participation of the youth
11:57in the preparation of programs, activities,
12:00and also in the preparation of participation,
12:03even in the construction of seating areas in the stadiums.
12:08We know that this is an issue,
12:10and we should take a Turkish example in this field.
12:13When every stadium is established,
12:16the youth participate in the design of the stadiums.
12:25Also, there is another issue,
12:28that the youth are now being asked
12:33how they can integrate with the youth
12:37who will come from around the world.
12:40Let's take the experience of Qatar in the Waqf market.
12:44This market was a place where all the youth of the world met.
12:50So, for the Moroccan community abroad,
12:53if you have a technical experience,
12:55if you visit a big stadium,
12:58and you are familiar with the big demonstrations,
13:01you will also come up with serious suggestions.
13:06This participatory thinking can only lead to positive results
13:12in the preparation of programs, places,
13:15and also in the design of some places for the youth.
13:22Also, the design and preparation of touristic programs
13:26for the Moroccan visitors.
13:30As we know, the interview period is an hour and a half,
13:34but there is an hour before and an hour after.
13:38So, for a foreign tourist,
13:40more than ten hours a day,
13:43he performs activities, whether touristic,
13:45marketing, or sports.
13:49From here, we will talk about some positive side effects
13:55of some Moroccan cities that do not host matches.
14:03They will have an opportunity to benefit,
14:06and they will have a share.
14:08How is that, Mr. Driss Al-Alawi?
14:11Six cities will host matches,
14:15and others will benefit from this event,
14:18whether it is live or not.
14:21To answer this question,
14:24we should look at previous experiences.
14:27We are not talking about a specific organization
14:31or organizing a demonstration like the World Cup.
14:34We should look at previous experiences.
14:36For example, in South Africa, Germany, and Brazil,
14:40there were some faraway cities that achieved
14:44an economic development that is out of the question,
14:47especially in Brazil and South Africa.
14:50Today, we are talking about the Kingdom of Morocco
14:53in its African depth,
14:55with a new culture, identity, and values.
14:58Therefore, when we talk about promoting tourism
15:01in the Kingdom of Morocco through such demonstrations,
15:06it will not be limited to visiting the stadiums
15:09or cities that will host these matches.
15:12As you mentioned in the introduction,
15:15we are talking about 32 cities that will host
15:18these participating teams in this demonstration.
15:21Therefore, today we are talking about
15:24all sides of the Kingdom of Morocco
15:27will participate in promoting infrastructure
15:30and economic benefits for visitors and tourists.
15:35For example, in Agadir,
15:38foreign tourists will want to get to know
15:41the Moroccan desert and its culture.
15:44They will want to visit the entrance,
15:47because today we are talking about a Morocco
15:50rich in cultures, traditions, customs, and values,
15:53as well as natural landscapes,
15:56mountain tourism, and coastal tourism.
15:59In the same way, in the North,
16:02we are talking about the expansion of these stadiums
16:05in the Kingdom of Morocco,
16:08which may cover all sides of the Kingdom of Morocco.
16:11Therefore, when we go to the North,
16:14there is mountain tourism, coastal tourism,
16:17in Agadir, as I said, in the White House,
16:20the economic capital of course,
16:23and this is also an opportunity to know
16:26how the work will start tomorrow,
16:29so that there will be a coordination
16:32with the other sides and cities
16:35to give a complete touristic exhibition.
16:38People who come through a specific touristic program
16:41will be able to see
16:44the most attractive cities
16:47in terms of tourism,
16:50whether it is mountain tourism or coastal tourism, etc.
16:54Therefore, today we cannot talk about it
16:57as if it is only for the cities
17:00that will benefit from it.
17:03Therefore, the bet today is to talk about
17:06the local or regional outcome for each region,
17:09and to serve it on integrated programs
17:12so that there is a synergy between the regions
17:15so that it can provide benefits,
17:18and I believe that the responsibility
17:21of each region should be shared.
17:24Here, we can talk about digital content
17:27that talks about the positive aspects
17:30and regions that the tourist should see.
17:33For example, we can talk about Warzazat.
17:36Any foreign tourist who wants to come
17:39wants to see the studios of Warzazat
17:42because there is an international site
17:45that goes to the North,
17:48and we know that Tanja, Spain,
17:51is about 15 or 14 km from Spain.
17:54Therefore, this integration
17:57can be said that Morocco
18:00will benefit more than Spain and Portugal
18:03because tourists usually want to discover
18:06new cultures and new things,
18:09and this is what we can talk about.
18:12For example, we can talk about
18:15the number of tourists in Morocco.
18:18As a simple number,
18:21during this week,
18:24Morocco reached an unprecedented number
18:27of tourists.
18:30Today, in November,
18:33we reached 11.9 million tourists.
18:36Therefore, today we have to
18:39make sure that Morocco is able
18:42to reach the targets of the tourism sector
18:45before 2026.
18:48As I said in 2023,
18:51Morocco is able to reach
18:54the number of 17.5 million tourists
18:57before 2026,
19:00and this was the strategic goal.
19:03Today, we are talking about 2025,
19:06and maybe we will exceed this number of tourists.
19:09As for the tourism sector in Nasiriyah,
19:12we are talking about six cities
19:15that will host the matches
19:18and will have the biggest share in terms of equipment,
19:21facilities, and organization.
19:24On the other hand, there are adjacent cities,
19:27as Mr. Allawi pointed out,
19:30that will also benefit,
19:33and will have an economic and touristic impact
19:36because of the cities that will host the matches.
19:39But of course, what is the nature of the programs,
19:42the nature of the integration,
19:45and the nature of the promotion
19:48to benefit these adjacent cities
19:51that will not host the matches?
19:54To clarify for the audience,
19:57how can other cities benefit
20:00from this sport event?
20:03I will give you a simple example
20:06in terms of infrastructure.
20:09There are several cities that benefit from this infrastructure.
20:12I will give you an example.
20:15I live in the city of Al-Muhammadiyah.
20:18I woke up two weeks ago
20:21and the entrance to Al-Muhammadiyah became a big obstacle.
20:24Why? Because Al-Muhammadiyah is between
20:27Al-Dar Al-Baydaa and Bin Suleiman.
20:30There is also the city of Medina.
20:33Now, there are several new and fast ways
20:36between Al-Dar Al-Baydaa and Al-Muhammadiyah airport
20:39and Bin Suleiman to pass through Medina
20:42and Tietemelil.
20:45There is also the development of Tietemelil small airport.
20:48There is also the development of Al-Muhammadiyah international airport
20:51where there will be the addition
20:54of a third terminal
20:57and the capacity will reach
21:0020 million passengers.
21:03The airport is located
21:06in the city of Al-Nawasr.
21:09Al-Nawasr is now benefiting from this infrastructure.
21:12As for tourism,
21:15I think that this is where
21:18the role of the front line comes in.
21:21This is where the role of the front line comes in.
21:25This is where the role of the economic intelligence
21:28of the voters comes in.
21:31Now, there are several cities
21:34that will host
21:37several visitors
21:40to discover new Moroccan cultures.
21:43So, these are the cities.
21:46For example, we are talking about Agadir.
21:49Agadir is now the city of Tarroudant
21:52and the Tarroudant, the eyes and the entrance,
21:55must now invest in the capacity
21:58of the hotel.
22:01I highly recommend
22:04the establishment of a youth hostel
22:07instead of the big hotels
22:10because more than 90% of the world's visitors
22:13are young people.
22:16The purchasing power of young people
22:19is very limited.
22:22In Spain, Qatar and several other countries,
22:25young people go to hotels
22:28and more than one type of hotel.
22:31These cities must now
22:34build marketing programs
22:37for these cities.
22:40Especially now,
22:43there are ways to reach
22:46the majority of these cities.
22:49As you mentioned, there are 32 cities
22:52that will host these groups,
22:55especially in the training and resettlement phase.
22:58These 32 cities must also
23:01have tourism programs,
23:04cultural programs.
23:07Thank God, our culture
23:10is very diverse and rich.
23:13We have tried to establish
23:16several cultural,
23:19theatrical,
23:22cinematic and sports events.
23:25I think that
23:28it is the good will
23:31of our voters
23:34to use the opportunity
23:37offered by His Excellency
23:40to organize special programs
23:43in their cities
23:46to highlight the cultural
23:49and social diversity of Morocco.
23:52You mentioned the tourism side.
23:55How will foreign tourists benefit
23:58and how will they discover the land of Morocco
24:01through this important international event?
24:04As for the domestic tourism in Morocco,
24:07the Ministry of Tourism
24:10recently announced that the Moroccan tourist
24:13is the first customer
24:16of Morocco as a tourist destination.
24:19What are the plans
24:22of Morocco
24:25to encourage this Moroccan tourist
24:28who does not attend
24:31low-cost events
24:34and who is known
24:37to be a little less generous
24:40compared to the Moroccan tourist?
24:43This will make me think
24:46of the example of Qatar
24:49despite its great success
24:52in organizing this protest.
24:55After this protest,
24:58there was no great result.
25:01The Ministry of Tourism
25:04asked to organize special programs
25:07for the Moroccan tourist
25:10to make it clear.
25:13Today, the Moroccan tourist
25:16says that if he goes abroad
25:19he will have to pay less
25:22than if he did domestic tourism.
25:25Today, the responsibility
25:28of the Ministry of Tourism
25:31is to develop
25:34the Moroccan tourism
25:37and to encourage the Moroccan tourist.
25:40Today, when we talk about these documents
25:43and the connection of all these cities
25:46and the internal movement,
25:49this is the opportunity
25:52to give the Moroccan tourist
25:55an opportunity to develop
25:58the Moroccan tourism
26:01and to encourage the Moroccan tourist.
26:04Thank you very much.
26:07Thank you Mr. Youssef Al Nasseri
26:10for all these explanations.
