The Minister of Tourism, Fatima-Zahra Ammor, officially opened COCO Park, a new amusement park built with a 200 million dirham investment. The park, which will open on July 20th, is the biggest in the kingdom.

COCO Park, covering over 10 hectares, offers a unique Amazon culture-inspired experience with over 50 activities, including video games, thrill rides, a rafting station, ice skating, a 5D cinema, a rollercoaster, and a Ferris wheel. It can accommodate up to 7,000 visitors daily and offers restaurants and gift shops.

Ammor highlighted the project as a significant lever for regional economic development, attracting families and young individuals, and increasing the average length of tourist stays. The government supports such investments through the “Go Tourism” and “Tourism Enterprise” programs and the new investment charter.

The project is expected to boost the Meknes economy by creating over 480 jobs and attracting more tourists, leading to increased spending in local businesses like hotels, restaurants, and shops. It will also encourage longer tourist stays and promote regional economic development, enhancing Meknes’ profile as a touristic destination.

The project is easily accessible via the highway, COCO Park aims to become a major entertainment destination in Morocco and North Africa. The regional tourism roadmap includes fifteen major projects to boost entertainment, accommodation, marketing, and air connectivity in the Fez-Meknes region.
