The application of the resort destination Agadir has been chosen to host the 2010 Congress of the Association of German Travel Agencies, DRV. This good news was announced at the convening of the 2009 ITB (International Tourism Fair in Berlin). Mr. Laepleu, president of the DRV, was received at the show in Berlin, by Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts and Abderrahim Oummani, president of CRT Agadir Souss Massa Draa. The holding of the congress DRV is a first not only to Agadir in Morocco but also tourism. Indeed, this is the first time the RVD is holding its convention here. Over 1,300 travel agencies will be expected to stay for a week in Agadir, in November 2010.
We remember that professionals Gadiris, started their contacts for years to be able to one day host the congress of the German DRV. It is now accepted, pending the formality of official endorsement of the Board of the German Association held on April 13. An official statement of the CRT announces the good news information linking it with an effective revival of the German market after the convention. The choice of Agadir, in Morocco, therefore, marks the confidence of the Germans in the potential and tourism development in our country and its flagship resort destination, Agadir.

It is known that the RVD includes the German travel agencies and integrated TO German. Besides directing a committee member of TUI tour operator No. 1 in Europe, is a member of the Board of the association. It should be recalled that as part of the field survey on the candidacy of Morocco to host the 2010 Congress of the DRV, the director general of the association conducted a working visit to Agadir, where he saw hotels, infrastructure, the conference room suitable for holding the congress (the Dunes d'Or, in this case) and had agreed on this. Of German journalists are invited by the GVRD, to cover this important conference.

Meanwhile Congress DRV, are provided pre and post congress stays in different cities, as well as trips to see the field congrètistes the Moroccan tourist product, its features, in its richness and its diversity. One recalls the success of the French Congress of SNAV (Syndicat National Travel Agency), held in Agadir and had participated positively to the revival of the French market to Agadir, to the point where it became the market N ° 1 destination, overtaking the German market. Go away you see the opposite scenario, recur after the holding of the GVRD? we'll see. Anyway Gadiris professionals present at the ITB 2009, received the news with great pleasure that they will share with all professionals soussie destination.

Admittedly, it's really a great event for the resort destination Agadir when one considers that the German market was the market in the destination for years. The decline began in 2000 and continued in subsequent years, which impacted on Morocco tourist. Of 260,000 customers per year, Morocco has dropped to 180,000 in 2008. A drop too far-reaching implications for the destination and the country. In fact the whole of Morocco has suffered from declining German market: Agadir, Fez, Marrakech, the imperial cities tour, golf, spa etc. ...

In terms of overnight stays in Germany, between 2000 and 2007, Morocco passed (down) from 1,832,800 to 989,000 overnight stays recorded in classified, which is one of the true barometers tourist. And that the German market is the largest source market of European tourists, with 35 million tourists who go on vacation abroad. And say that Morocco is linked with a good partnership between the two great German TO (TUI and Thomas Cook) and Agadir partners (Group Tikida and Globus Reisen). This is in preparation for a successful Congress in Agadir GVRD, the Ministry of Tourism, MNTO, CRT Agadir SMD, Local Authorities and elected officials, will emerge the great game of synergy to the overall success of this congress that marks a true and great tourist event for Morocco. Once again, congratulations to professionals Gadiris to have succeeded after years of effort and tireless energy, land the organization of the Congress despite fierce competition in this regard.
