The forecast for Moroccan season seems favorable for holidays in May. The cost for the airplane tickets grew slightly, but hotels usually give good discounts, which allow keeping the package prices almost at the level of last year. "We also give increased commission according to the stock of preliminary booking" - adds Margarita Lebedeva. Since prices in Morocco are set in euros, she compared the current sales to February 2013 and it turned out that nowadays tours are sold even more than during the last year. Maybe the fluctuations of euro will affect the season in March, unless we get a good index of sales for the May holidays. If that happens, we will give the additional bonuses and discounts to stimulate our agencies".
