How You Can Help Tourism Businesses in Israel

how tourism businesses have been affected and how you can help jerusalem

1. Book Hotels Now + Get Great Deals. With occupancy rates in hotels across Israel low, there are loads of great offers available, not just for the coming weeks, but into the future as well. Hotels want to fill their rooms now more than ever, even with reservations in the future.

2. Take advantage of cheap flight offers. With many people waiting for the situation to return to normal, the price of flights to Israel has dropped dramatically and there are great deals available from cities in Europe and North America to Tel Aviv at prices that have rarely been better. Book now and make your trip super-great value.

3. Stay at smaller places. Sacrifice the pool or gym and stay at smaller, family-run hotels. The big hotel chains in Israel are often internationally funded, whereas smaller businesses are the ones who suffer greatly when tourism drops. Many smaller hotels are struggling financially already and with smaller reserves, are more vulnerable in these situations. The smaller places in Israel generally offer even greater hospitality, with a more familial atmosphere, so try one of Israel’s great independent hostels, a boutique hotel in Tel Aviv, or zimmers (bed and breakfasts) away from the cities.

4. Take day tours instead of buying packages. Book one-day tours with local providers rather than a big tour package from a travel agent in your country. This way, more money will stay in the Israeli economy (and you’ll probably get a better price at the same time). Check out some great day tour options.

5. Eat out and buy from independent stores. Enjoy Israel’s great restaurant scene away from the hotel, instead of eating in the hotel restaurant, enjoy authentic local places. Buy supplies at independent stores or in the markets that can be found in every Israeli city.
