The newly opened Four Seasons Hotel Amman hosted the opening cocktail reception for one of the largest travel gatherings in Jordan. France's National Trade Union of Travel Agents (SNAV) held their 44th annual convention with over 800 travel agents and journalists in attendance.

Held under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, who has committed great time and effort to supporting Jordan's tourism strategy, the convention opened on the 22nd of January with Jordan's Queen as the keynote speaker. Other speakers included H.E. Dominique Busereau, France's Minister of Transportation and Sea, who delivered remarks on behalf of Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Rafarin; Mr. Mumtaz Teker, President of SNAV's 44th Congress and Mr. Cesar Balderachi, President of SNAV.

For the past two years, the Jordan Tourism Board has been working on making the SNAV a reality. SNAV is the official representative of the French travel industry and boasts a registered travel agent membership of over 1,400 and 3,500 sales offices.
