In the summer of 2016, building on its legacy of world-class photographic events, EVENTS ON once again turned the lens onto Morocco’s beauty. In conjunction with the art of photography, and through a strategic collaboration with the prestigious Shangtuf Chinese Photo Club and the Moroccan Image Association (AMI), we proudly organized the groundbreaking first edition of the “Morocco China Photo Trip 2016.”

This pioneering edition gathered 14 influential Chinese photo leaders for an immersive 13-day photographic expedition across the heart of Morocco, strengthening cultural ties through the universal language of imagery.

This event was founded on a powerful partnership:

• Shangtuf Chinese Photo Club: Provided access to a delegation of esteemed Chinese photographic talent.
• Moroccan Image Association (AMI): Offered deep local expertise and cultural insight.
• EVENTS ON: Orchestrated the entire journey, leveraging our expertise in logistics, planning, and delivering exceptional experiences for professional photographers.

This triad of expertise ensured the Morocco China Photo Trip 2016 was both seamlessly executed and rich in authentic content.
