Casablanca Tourism: Bouskoura Park Takes Shape
A press release received by the Agence Congolaise d’Information (ACI) presents Bouskoura Park as a new integrated pole with a tourist, economic and event-driven vocation on the southern periphery of Casablanca. At the heart of the project, its promoters announced the future establishment of the Radisson Blu Hotel & Conference Center Casablanca Bouskoura, designed to anchor the site’s positioning in the hospitality and meetings segments (ACI).
The announcement, as relayed by ACI, places Bouskoura Park within a broader narrative of territorial development around Casablanca, where demand for accommodation, business services and large-scale event infrastructure increasingly converges. The information available at this stage remains primarily declarative and attributable to the project’s backers, a point that invites careful reading in line with standard journalistic practice.
Bouskoura Park Project: A Mixed-Use Vision for Residents and Visitors
According to Mr Amr Chegdali, General Manager of Bouskoura Park, the site has been conceived as a “functional” ensemble capable of meeting the expectations of residents, tourists, companies, institutions and visitors (ACI). The emphasis on functionality is notable: rather than presenting a single-purpose resort model, the promoters describe a complementary mix of uses combining accommodation, services, workspaces and infrastructure suitable for major events.
This framing suggests a deliberate attempt to capture multiple flows—local consumption, corporate demand and visitor traffic—while providing the logistical backbone required for conferences and large gatherings. As described, the project’s integrated approach aims to reduce the fragmentation often observed in peri-urban developments, where hospitality, offices and event venues are planned in isolation rather than as mutually reinforcing components.
Radisson Hotel Group in Morocco: A Targeted Development Strategy
For Radisson Hotel Group, the hotel partnership is presented as part of a targeted development strategy in Morocco (ACI). Mr Ramsay Rankoussi, identified as the group’s Regional Chief Development Officer, characterised the Kingdom as one of the region’s most “dynamic and structuring” markets, citing a clear vision for tourism and territorial development (ACI).
While such language is typical of corporate communications, it is also a useful indicator of the competitive logic shaping Morocco’s hospitality landscape. International hotel groups generally weigh regulatory predictability, connectivity, and event ecosystems when making location decisions. In this respect, the promoters’ reliance on a globally recognised brand appears intended both to reassure potential clients and to signal that the site aims to operate within internationally familiar standards for conferences and high-end lodging.
Radisson Blu Casablanca Bouskoura: Standards, Sustainability and Local Fit
The promoters further indicate that the Radisson Blu Hotel & Conference Center Casablanca Bouskoura has been designed to meet the group’s international standards while integrating local specificities (ACI). The stated objective is to combine hotel quality with environmental sustainability and a harmonious insertion into its urban environment.
At this point, the available information does not provide technical details on the sustainability measures envisaged. Nonetheless, the explicit mention of environmental durability reflects a broader shift in the hospitality sector, where energy efficiency, resource management and urban integration increasingly serve as benchmarks for both reputational credibility and operating performance. The project narrative suggests that Bouskoura Park seeks to align with these expectations while maintaining a locally grounded architectural and functional identity.
Business Tourism in Casablanca: Ambitions for Events and Local Economy
Through Bouskoura Park, the initiators state their ambition to reinforce the attractiveness of the Bouskoura area, support local economic activity and position the site as a reference destination for business tourism and large-scale events in Morocco (ACI). This orientation toward meetings and events is significant: it implies a bet on corporate and institutional travel, which tends to generate higher per-capita spending and to stimulate ancillary sectors such as transport, catering, security, technical services and local subcontracting.
The press release narrative, as reported by ACI, underscores an expectation that the project could contribute to consolidating Bouskoura’s role within Casablanca’s metropolitan dynamics, by offering a concentrated set of services for both everyday users and periodic high-volume events. Any assessment of the project’s eventual impact will, however, depend on implementation timelines and operational delivery—elements not detailed in the information provided.

The image, while not establishing project completion, indicates that the initiative has entered a publicly staged phase consistent with large-scale development projects.
