Opening a riad or guest house in Marrakech, Fez, Essaouira or Chefchaouen attracts many international buyers. Projects are often delayed not by the works, but by organisation: badly configured channels, improvised prices and manual invoicing and guest records.
For legal and tax questions, work with the regional tourism authorities, an accountant and a lawyer: rules depend on your status and accommodation category.
The checklist
Prepare these points before taking the first reservation.
- Legal status, registrations and tourism authorisation and classification
- Liability and property insurance
- Guest registration routine and police report
- Sales channels: Booking.com, Airbnb and direct
- Prices by room type and season, inclusions and cancellation terms
- Invoices with VAT and tourist tax according to your situation
- Team roles and access rights
Start with the right management tool
Starting directly with a PMS avoids a painful spreadsheet migration a few months later. Welcomax Hotel PMS combines calendar, bookings, payments, PDF invoices with Moroccan legal mentions, police forms generated from check-in and role-based access, with an integrated Channel Manager.
