In a first international expansion outside of Morocco, Guichet.com, the first Moroccan ticketing website, has announced the formal opening of its subsidiary in Senegal.
The new company, which has its headquarters in Dakar, was created as a result of a strategic alliance with a top Senegalese operator. According to the same source, the Moroccan ticketing platform intends to support the growth of the arts and entertainment industry and encourage the exchange of knowledge between Morocco and Senegal, two neighboring nations with remarkable relations.
“I am moved and delighted to announce the launch of Guichet in Senegal today in Dakar, in close partnership with a Senegalese partner of choice, whom I would like to thank for his dedication. Guichet is making its international debut. This delight is heightened by the fact that Morocco and Senegal are two fraternal countries whose excellent ties exemplify an ambitious and inspiring paradigm of South-South cooperation to which I am profoundly connected and convinced. By establishing in Dakar, Guichet hopes to contribute to the amazing energy of Senegal’s culture and entertainment business by making smart ticketing solutions created in Morocco available to the public and actors,” Guichet.com’s founder and CEO, Ahmed Tawfik Moulnakhla, said.
Guichet.Com in Morocco recently exceeded the million-ticket-sold-online mark. This extraordinary performance in Moroccan entertainment history underlines Guichet.com’s contribution to the reform and development of this dynamic market, according to a press release.
