The aim of this survey is to understand the gaps among the capacities and resources required to operate successfully in the selected markets and the ones that SMEs interested to enter the different markets currently have in-house.

In concrete terms, it will measure the level of knowledge of those professionals in charge of developing and implementing the strategy to enter the Tourist emerging markets selected within the SENTINEL COSME project in relation to those aspects that we have identified as the key ones to successful enter the market.

The results will support the preparation of the D4.5 Clusters members capacities and training plan, which aim is to increase the knowledge and understanding of those professionals on the selected markets and thus to allow them to properly enter those markets and being in the condition to successfully face the related challenges.

The tentative agenda will be planned to visit the following Moroccans associations and entities: – State tourism development agency – Hotel Association – National Architects Association – Association of construction companies – Association of interior designers – Project management company – Hotel developer – CREMAI fair visit (www.cremai.ma)

The goals are to develop potential collaborations and cooperation opportunities with different stakeholders from Morocco and to expand the markets for the companies associated to the Sentinel clusters and validation of the markets.

Companies interested in specific activities in Morocco could contact us at info@cosmesentinel.eu.
