With its Morocco program in full swing, Transat took 19 Canadian travel advisors on FAM through the region.
"This trip was a testament the exceptional quality of our product, by collaborating with our hand-picked local partners. Thanks to their unique insight, we were able to offer participants an exciting opportunity to truly explore Morocco. Travel agents are now armed with knowledge that will appeal to their more adventurous clients looking for something meaningful. As you know, our profession is all about creating those unforgettable moments and encouraging travellers to step out of their comfort zones for a deeper, more enriching experience, and I believe Morocco is a great place to do that," said Dima Fahed, Transat's account manager for the Greater Toronto Area.
“Morocco was an absolute dream come true with amazing and unforgettable moments. This was truly a famtrip done with class. I'm so grateful to have experienced such a unique adventure and will be recommending the highlights to future clients,” said Gisella Alvaro at PG Travel.
The itinerary was orchestrated with the help of local partner Jumbo Tours:
- The souks and palm groves of Marrakech
- The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, one of the world’s largest
- The Old Medina of Fest
- The Atlas Film Studios in Ouarzazate, where famous movies such as Gladiator, The Mummy, and Lawrence of Arabia were filmed
- The fortified village of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Alex Jorgenson, travel consultant at Murdoch Travel, was equally excited about her experience: “We had the most amazing tour guides; everyone was so knowledgeable and always prepared for any of the millions of questions we might have had. Getting to see and learn so much about the people and country of Morocco in our 1-week stay worked incredibly well. Everything was expertly planned.”
Kevin Dupuis, travel advisor at TripCentral, said, “If you're looking for an amazing travel experience, Morocco is the place to be! From the action-packed souks of Marrakech and Fes to the breathtaking landscapes of the Sahara, Morocco offers a rich tapestry of culture, history and adventure. Whether you're exploring the bustling streets or relaxing in a riad, Morocco promises an enchanting journey.”
“Many thanks to Transat Holidays and Jumbo Tours for an excellent and thorough introduction to Morocco and the different types of products (tour, flight/hotel or riad) on offer. We covered a lot of ground, sights and activities in one week. When future clients ask me about Morocco, I will put Transat at the top of the list. The tours are high quality and great value for money. Other agents will know that the all-inclusive clientele are always asking for new destinations; I'll be sure to let them know that they should consider Morocco. Now that we know it, we can sell it,” concluded Brian Kendrick at TravelOnly.
