International gold keys union holds 2004 congress in Morocco

The World congress of the International Gold-Keys Union will convene in 2004 in Morocco, announced in Erfoud the chairman of the hotel concierge association of Morocco and head of the union's Africa zone Abdelkader Quenni.

Addressing his association's 39th general assembly, he said the choice of Morocco was unanimously decided by the 36 member countries which attended the 2000 World Congress held in China.

Morocco already hosted the union congress in 1955 and 1963 and the excursion-congress of 1992 in Tangiers, Ourzazate and Marrakesh.

The 6,000 strong Moroccan association, the only one in Africa and the Arab world, will be closely working with the department of tourism to see to the success of the coming world event to gather over 600 participants, Quenni said.
