Song Yu, Secretary General of WTCF

WTCF provides a communication platform for tourism cities in the world, through which many cities can set up relationships with one another, improve the accuracy in receiving tourists and provide better services for tourists. Thus WTCF will definitely promote global tourism development focusing on tourism cities around the world.

Lahcen Haddad, Minister of Tourism of Morocco

The cities around the world - intelligent cities, tourist cities, sustainable cities – are the ones that really promote tourism and develop tourism. So cities should be at the forefront of tourism, not the central government, but the mayors and local government and that’s a message I want to get across.

Abderrafia Zouitene, Director of the Moroccan National Tourist Office

In terms of tourism, Morocco can bring a lot to Chinese tourists. Morocco does not only provide beautiful scenery, it also has exquisite clothes, gourmet food and cultural heritages of a long history. Besides, the Moroccan people are hospitable and are rated as one of the three most hospitable peoples around the world. Just as the Minister (of Tourism) said Morocco will prioritize the relationship with China on tourism and our whole team will implement this policy.

Yu Ningning, President of China International Travel Service

The embassy and related offices of the Kingdom of Morocco in China have provided great support and convenience in visa issuing and the support from the government is a precondition for the success of “Thousands of Tourists to Morocco”… I believe in the near future Morocco will become one of the tourist destinations familiar to Chinese citizens.
