As planned by the meetings to prepare for the creation of the Moroccan Association of Journalists and Tourism Writers, held successively in Marrakech on August 31 and September 6, 2013, an ordinary elective general assembly took place in Casablanca in the premises of the Golden Tulip Farah Casablanca hotel, on Thursday September 12, 2013 at 3 p.m. to elect the office of AMJET.
At the end of the assembly’s work, it unanimously decided to elect a provisional office which will be responsible for finalizing the Statutes and the internal regulations, for a maximum period of three months, a period preceding the holding of the elective assembly with a view to definitively constituting the association and its office.
The Provisional Office is composed of:
- Mustapha Trai: President
- Salah Chakor: Secretary General
- Najib Senhadji: Treasurer.
This ordinary general meeting was punctuated by the effective presence of Philippe Maochon, President of the French Association of Tourism Journalists and Writers (AFJET), who attended in his capacity as sponsor of AMJET and observer.
The aim of establishing such an association is to unite the efforts of tourism media stakeholders, with a view to defending the Moroccan tourism product, in general, and to initiate partnerships with various specialized national and international organizations and stakeholders with a view to exchanging experiences and organizing thematic meetings likely to contribute to the development of the sector and enrich debates around issues specific to the tourism industry.

- Allow its members to accomplish their tasks in the best possible conditions, by maintaining permanent relationships with operators, professionals and tourism managers, both in Morocco and abroad;
- Establish constant and friendly professional relations between its members, with a view to facilitating and coordinating their actions;
- Serve the cause of tourism through the articles and publications of its members, through active participation in any event organized in this direction;
- Instigate and organize trips and press meetings in Morocco or abroad, and to reward each year efforts, works or articles or any other production and event relating to the tourism sector;
- Collaborate closely and permanently with the International Federation of Tourism Journalists and Writers (FIJET) and with any other legal representation at the national and international level.
- Organize various actions in favor of the sector.
