Madame Nadia FETTAH, Minister of Tourism, Handicrafts, Air Transport and Social Economy of the Kingdom of Morocco declares: "Through an international consultation launched in partnership with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Bureau Veritas, as well as its partner Well Hospitality, have been mandated to support the resumption of tourist accommodation activities in the Kingdom of Morocco. This support should lead to the establishment of the WelcomeSafely label, with the firm commitment and the ambition assumed to restore the confidence of travelers in a healthy and successful recovery ”.

"We are very honored to support the Kingdom of Morocco in its desire to restart activities related to the tourism sector. Bureau Veritas' expertise and independence are a guarantee of reliability, in order to meet the company's transparency, hygiene and sanitary requirements, "added Marc ROUSSEL, Senior Vice President Bureau Veritas Africa.

It is in collaboration with the Moroccan authorities that Bureau Veritas has developed a repository dedicated to health security which will be given to professionals in tourist accommodation companies. An online platform will allow everyone to self-assess their accommodation in accordance with the established repository guidelines and recommendations as well as to train their staff according to their core business and their functions. Around a hundred hotels will be accompanied and audited by Bureau Veritas in their approach to health compliance to enable them to obtain the "WelcomeSafely" label implemented under the authority of the Ministry.
