Maurice Otin, Founder and President of Ciel D’Afrique in Marrakech, Morocco

Our unanimous vote for the absolute best way to see Marrakech: from a hot air balloon at 1,000M sipping Dom Perignon. Get the royal treatment and live like a king (or queen) with a hostess serving you breakfast as you quietly float above the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Who says you can’t get meals on domestic flights anymore?

Magic Carpet in Marrakech
Robin Swados, Travel Journalist

We met Robin on the way to Marrakech to attend the Moroccan Travel Market and immediately knew we had found not only a great traveling companion but a good friend as well. Robin chats with us about a fantastic luxury tented retreat called Couleurs Berbers in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. And it was with Robin that we witnessed one of the most memorable bargaining sessions in all our world travels. It happened one night in the ancient marketplace of Marrakech as our new friend tried to buy a finely woven wool rug from a local trader.

Patrick Peartree.

Little Known Facts
Bruce Bommarito, COO and Executive Vice President of the US Travel Association in Washington, DC
Little known fact #1: The travel industry in the US contributes twice as much to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product as does the US auto making industry. Little known fact #2: The US travel industry employs two and half times as many folks as does the US automakers. Little known fact #3: The US is just about the only country in the world that doesn’t market itself as a travel destination. What are we missing here?  Bruce will let us know.

Travel Market in Marrakech
Lamrani Mahdi, Manager of PR and Communications for the Moroccan Travel Market

Now in its third edition and better than ever, the Moroccan Travel Market (MTM) keeps growing with attendance this year up nearly a third over 2009. The event takes place in perhaps the largest tented pavilion in all of Africa and the entire venue is, in true Berber fashion, built from the ground up each year. Once again, Marrakech and the MTM rolled out the red carpet to warmly welcome travel buyers and sellers from around the world. Exotic? Yes. Effective? Definitely! Interesting? Listen up!
