Marrakech hotel obtains International tourism federation's top award

The international tourism federation has extended its top award "the Golden laurel" to a hotel in Marrakech, central Morocco.

This international distinction rewards the hotel for its great and refined services and for the hotel executives' efforts to promote the Moroccan tourism abroad.

Chairman of the Paris-based federation said Morocco's rich tourism attractions are likely to draw foreign investors, stressing that ongoing efforts will surely help the kingdom fulfill its 10-million tourists a year by 2010.
