The Moroccan National Tourism Board (ONMT) has allocated eight million euros to fund an advertising campaign to promote the Moroccan seaside resort of Agadir as an international tourist destination. ONMT Director Abbas Azzouzi announced Wednesday (April 4th) that this budget is intended for one year, and that it may increase to as much as 11m euros in coming years. He also said that a considerable portion of the funds would target tourists from Russia, and that national air carrier Royal Air Maroc was asked to consider the possibility of a new direct flight between Moscow and Agadir.
