2 Travel to Israel
Israel is a highly developed country, yet for numerous reasons is relatively unknown to tourists. It has such diversity and sites of interest to people of all ages, religions, and cultures. It is clearly developing a reputation as a cool destination.
"Israel of the coastal plain, where eight out of ten Israeli Jews live...is unknown to the outside world, almost unknown to itself." Amos Oz
Israel is a great place for western tourists. Whilst English isn't an official language, almost everyone speaks it to a greater or lesser degree. Israel is a developed nation, yet is in a region where most countries are far less developed. Israel is progressive. Tel Aviv is not only the most liberal city in the country, but in the whole region!
Many people will inevitably think that travel to Israel isn't safe. In general it is. In fact, we did some calculations, and the murder rate in, say, Tel Aviv, lies at less than 10% of what it is in a city such as Washington DC. All of the places which are slightly less safe, are not really on the tourist trail or the cool tourist trail which we are promoting either, for that matter.
We want you to come, and be cool in Israel.
