  Los países en desarrollo y emergentes suelen tener unas instituciones débiles e inestables. Por ello, la internacionalización empresarial hacia estos países conlleva una serie de riesgos surgidos de las diferencias institucionales entre el país de origen y el país de destino. En estos países, el turismo es un sector clave para su desarrollo socio-económico, como es el caso de Marruecos. Por tanto, este artículo tiene como objetivo estudiar los retos institucionales que afrontan las empresas hoteleras, PYMEs y propietarios individuales que operan en Marruecos en 2017 y si estos obstáculos son percibidos de igual manera por empresarios extranjeros y locales. De los resultados obtenemos información útil para tener éxito empresarial en países en desarrollo, especialmente, Marruecos.Developing economies usually have unstable and weak institutions. Therefore, business internationalization to these countries involves several risks due to institutions differences between the origin country and the host country. In these countries, tourism is a key sector for their socio-economic development, as in the case of Morocco. For all of these reasons, the aim of this report is to identify institutional challenges encountered by companies, SME and/or sole proprietors when operating in Morocco in 2017. Besides, we want to know whether these challenges are noticed by local and foreign entrepreneurs in the same way.
