Apr 11 - Gibraltar Represented at Marrakech World Touring Car Championship 2014
The Gibraltar Tourist Board are once again hosting a promotional stand in the FIA World Touring Car Championship that takes place in the Moroccan city of Marrakech between today and Sunday.
This event will provide the GTB with the opportunity to showcase the local tourist product and general services to the international annual gathering of WTCC motoring fans that will be attending the prestigious event in Morocco.
Minister for Tourism, Commercial Affairs, Public Transport and the Port, Neil Costa who will be leading the local delegation, said he was delighted that the GTB was taking part to promote the Gibraltar tourist industry and the Rock’s unique appeal as a city break destination. Minister Costa further noted that the presence of the GTB will serve to highlight the Gibraltar Government’s stated desire to develop modern tourism, trade and commerce links with Morocco.
‘We continue to tirelessly promote Gibraltar at every international event that we attend, especially one so close to home and one which has become a regular fixture of global sporting media coverage and interest,’ said Minister Costa.
Last year Chief Minister Fabian Picardo who was one of the guests at the race, declared that events such as these were excellent opportunities to promote what Gibraltar has to offer in Morocco.
