The North African country&rsquo;s National Tourist Office is holding the event <em>Marrocos, o despertar dos sentidos<\/em> (Morocco, the awakening of senses) from Monday (23rd) to Sunday (29th). Several Moroccan costumes will be shown to the public. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our goal is introduce Brazilians to Morocco as a travel destination by displaying our culture, the beauties of our country, our handicraft,&rdquo; said to ANBA the joint director of Tourism for Portugal and Brazil, Fouad Bouchama.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the key elements of Moroccan culture will be represented at the event. People will be able to get henna tattoos, a calligrapher will showcase Arabic writing, and the folk music group El Mesaaoudi will perform. <\/p>\n<p>The Moroccan week will also feature a parade of kaftan dresses (typical attire) and a photo exhibit. An artisan will be working live. <\/p>\n<p>This is not the National Tourist Office&rsquo;s first action in Brazil. It has taken journalists and tour operators to Morocco in the past, and it attended two industry shows in S&atilde;o Paulo this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Brazilians <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the Office, 22,000 Brazilians travelled to Morocco last year; according to Bouchama, there could be a 25% increase by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>He says the drivers of growth include promotional action and the non-stop Casablanca-S&atilde;o Paulo flight flown three times a week by the carrier Royal Air Maroc.
