My travel business experience
For those who wish to read a bit more extended version of myself and how I build my own adventure travel company.
Back in 2001, I involved myself in organizing and leading overland expeditions from Portugal to north Africa, so I’ve been in the travel business for more than two decades now. For all those years that I gained tour leader experience, along with my travels around the world, I got to be a travel expert.
In 2006, in the city of Erfoud, I opened my marketing agency, specializing in creating content and marketing campaigns, websites, and photography for hotels and travel agencies. After 7 years of working in this field, I gathered around 70 clients.
In January 2011, along with my sister as my business partner, I opened a hotel called Dar Rita in Ouarzazate. Dar Rita is a seven-room + two-bedroom apartment boutique guest house. Fully equipped bedrooms with private bathroom, air-conditioner, and free Internet WIFI.
In 2014, my sister and I bought the most desired domain name, Marrocos.com (geo domain name for Morocco in Portuguese). Since then, we have sold tours in Morocco as travel agents through a renowned Marrakech travel agency.
In 2018 we decided to bet on our own business and opened a tour operator. DMC is called RJ Travel, which specializes in Adventure Holidays to destinations such as Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Persia, Saudi Arabia, and Uzbekistan. RJ has an easy platform to use when you’re online shopping for any tour packages you’re looking for. With great efforts we try to serve all the Middle east and try to be the best tour operator and DMC in many countries, including the best travel agency in Iraq.
In 2019, we opened the first Digital Nomad co-working/co-living space in south Morocco, called Dar Digital Nomad. The house is designed as a coworking space, with four desks and four comfortable office chairs. The apartment has a kitchen and a bathroom, a washing machine, a television, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.
