Intrepid Travel, the world’s largest adventure travel company, has entered into an agreement with the Morocco National Tourist Office (MNTO) to host its 2027 annual Global Summit in Marrakech.
Taking place from 18-22 October, this is the second time the event has been held outside Melbourne, following the 2025 Summit in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The event will bring together Intrepid team members with trade partners, industry leaders, media and creators from around the world to both celebrate Intrepid and experience Morocco.
Throughout the week, guests will have the chance to explore the destination first-hand and discover its potential for responsible, experience-led travel.
Intrepid plans to showcase experiences across Morocco that reflect its approach to responsible, community-led tourism, including women-led tours, lesser-known destinations and visits to Intrepid Foundation partners.
The Summit forms part of a much bigger ambition for Intrepid and MNTO. Under their strategic partnership, Intrepid aims to bring 200,000 travellers a year to Morocco by 2031, quadrupling its traveller numbers to the country, through joint work to promote and raise the profile of the destination.
James Thornton, CEO of Intrepid, said: “Morocco is one of Intrepid’s most popular destinations and an important part of our future growth, so we’re very excited to be taking our Global Summit there for the first time.
“Summit has always been about bringing our people together, and I’m delighted that some special guests will have the chance to join us as we celebrate Morocco and experience what makes it one of the world’s best destinations.”
The agreement was signed at WTM London by Intrepid CEO James Thornton and MNTO CEO Achraf Fayda.
