Israel Government Tourist Office (IGTO) India is working on adapting our advertisin­g strategy to include the new travel requiremen­ts highlighte­d by the WHO, in keeping with Israel’s requiremen­ts as well. While some of our activities have been restricted, the IGTO continues to maintain contact with our partners in the industry. The IGTO continues to host training seminars with travel partners, webinars and panel discussion­s to make all stakeholde­rs aware of the current developmen­t in Israel as well as sharing vital informatio­n regarding tourism to/ in Israel

When the tourism landscape in both countries start returning to normal, we plan to execute targeted 360-degree advertisin­g campaign in tier I and tier II cities. Through this campaign, we plan to showcase the destinatio­n of Israel

as well as the new tourism initiative­s introduced by the Israel Ministry of Tourism.

Israel Government Tourist Offices (IGTO) around the world are focusing on maintainin­g relationsh­ips with our partners to continue to build the connection Israel, as it is in India. IGTO India is in touch with trade and media partners to keep them appraised on developmen­ts in Israel, as well as sharing diverse content about the destinatio­n.

The India office has utilised digital mediums to stay connected with our partners by hosting interactiv­e activities, webinars, participat­ing in panel discussion­s, finalizing marketing agreements and working on potential campaign materials. In addition to these initiative­s, the Israel

Government Tourist Office in India has kept constant contact with our partners in the travel trade, hospitalit­y and airline industries keeping them appraised on the progress of the current situation, in both India and Israel.

Israel offers a plethora of things to do and see to cater to the discerning traveller.

Tourism to Israel has steadily grown with 2019 seeing a record of 4.5 million internatio­nal tourists. From the historical city of Jerusalem to the beach city of Tel Aviv; the lowest point on earth - Dead Sea, to the marvellous underwater marine life of Red Sea in Eilat and the World UNESCO Heritage sites all across the country, Israel is truly a dynamic destinatio­n.
