Having become the heart of world tourism journalism, Fez hosted the 70th edition of the international Congress of the Federation of Journalists and Writers of Tourism (FIJET), with the Euromed University of Fes as host of the opening ceremony and the International Forum.

From November 19 to 24, Fez hosted the 70th World Congress of the International Federation of Journalists and Writers of Tourism (FIJET), under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. More than 250 professionals from 70 countries gathered to discuss the transformations of the tourism sector and the role of the media in its sustainable and responsible promotion.

The Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) played a central role by hosting the opening ceremony and the International Forum. The president, Pr.
