With Morocco's first quarter tourism revenues touching $1.5 billion, hotels and resorts across the kingdom are launching summer offers targeting Saudi families in particular and Gulf families in general. Dr. Lahcen Haddad, Minister of Tourism, Morocco, anticipates an 8 percent increase in number of tourists to Morocco by end of 2014. Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, one of the leading tourism destinations in North Africa, has just launched summer offers for the Saudi market, including a night free on a 4-night package and two nights free on a 5-night package, starting from $110 per person. The package includes accommodation for 2 adults and 2 kids, complimentary breakfast for 2 adults and 2 kids, free meals for kids, free access to 3 kids' clubs (Baby Club, Kids Club and Club Rush), free access to Hammam steam room, Tennis, Fitness & biking, and complimentary airport shuttle service. Stephan Killinger, President, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, attributed the remarkable growth to Morocco's capacity to provide quality and unique experience for tourists, the highlight of which are attractions tailored to the needs of Saudi visitors. “Due to the dramatic growth in flights to Morocco, we anticipate a highly robust summer season across the country, particularly in Mazagan,” Killinger added. “We support the overall growth of the tourism in Morocco by bringing in hordes of tourists from the Gulf region, as we understand their perceptions of luxury and their cultural peculiarities,” Killinger added. — SG
