Israel is one country in which the tourism industry is still developing and has yet to reach its capacity for visitors. The economic role of tourism in Israel has not always been a major one but over time the industry has grown and become a significant source of revenue.

  • Diane Solway, 'Artful Finnish'
    Diane Solway, ‘Artful Finnish’, W Magazine, October 17, 2014 A view of Suvikunta, one of the Zabludowiczes’ properties on Sarvisalo Island, Finland. Photography by Jason Schmidt Caragh Thuring in her cottage-turned-studio at Suvikunta preparing for a solo show opening in November. Nicolas Deshayes, Keith Tyson, Caragh Thuring, Erin and Sam Falls, Poju and Anita Zabludowicz, and Olafur Eliasson and his daughter Alma, with Schieleren (Smears), 2010, by Franz West. On a remote island in Finland, mega-collectors Anita and Poju Zabludowicz have established a breathtaking creative oasis. Perhaps it was the milky light of the night in summer, when the sun barely goes down. Or maybe it was the midnight saunas followed by bracing dunks in the sea. More likely, it was simply the light- headedness that comes from being out of the studio and plunked on a remote island off the southern coast of Finland, with little in sight except sky, water, forest, and fields. Whatever the cause, no one felt much like sleeping—not the rising stars Sam Falls, Caragh Thuring, or Nicolas Deshayes, all artists in residence on the property; nor Olafur Eliasson, who was visiting to scope out sites for a possible commission; nor Keith Tyson, a Turner Prize winner. Tyson’s Large Field Array, a work combining 300 sculptural elements, was soon to be housed in its own enormous barn on the grounds, which are dotted by rustic cabins. “Art camp” is how they all described the place. Such is the allure of Sarvisalo, home to the family retreat–turned–art colony and sculpture park owned by Anita and Poju Zabludowicz.

  • Manager of Downtown Casinos Relinquishing Role
    Manager of downtown casinos relinquishing role The company that manages the largest group of downtown Las Vegas casinos is leaving Glitter Gulch, a move that adds even more uncertainty to an already struggling gambling market. The Las Vegas-based Navegante Group on Thursday announced it would part ways with Tamares Group of Vaduz, Liechtenstein. That leaves Tamares, the largest private landowner downtown, to find new management for the Plaza, Las Vegas Club, Western and Gold Spike casinos, a collection that includes more than 1,600 hotel rooms, nearly 2,400 slot machines, 51 table games and employs about 1,600 people. Larry Woolf, chairman of the Navegante Group, said Tamares would be better served by a business partner looking to invest significantly in the properties, which represent about 20 percent of the overall downtown hotel-casino room inventory, as opposed to simply leasing and managing them. „We just don’t have that kind of capital,“ Woolf said. „We are a management company not an investment company.“ Navegante, which Tamares says is required to provide 12 months notice of departure, will continue to manage the four casinos while the owners seek new operators. The company also has management deals with casinos in Carson City, Reno, Elko, New Mexico and Calgary, Alberta. It began managing the Tamares properties in December 2005. Navegante used cost-cutting and efficiency improvements to move cash flow from negative to positive. Some of the changes included removing bingo from the Gold Spike, renegotiating vendor contracts and replacing older slot machines with coinless slots. „If we couldn’t measure it, we eliminated the program,“ Woolf said.

    Alternative TourismJournal Staged Authenticity The Israeli ‘Annexation’ of Palestinian Religious Tourism in the 1967 Occupied Territory 1 Alternative Tourism Journal is an initiative of the Alternative Tourism Group-Study Center Palestine (ATG). It is a journal which offers an alternative narrative of the situation in Palestine and the way it impacts on tourism. ATG is a Palestinian NGO specializing in tours and pilgrimages that include a critical examination of the history, culture, and politics of the Holy Land. ATG operates on the tenets of “justice tourism” and seeks empowerment of the local community through affirmation of Palestinian cultural identity, and protection of eco-rights. Above all, ATG seeks to promote justice in the Holy Land with tourism as one of its instruments. Copyright© ATG-2016 Published in Palestine by the Alternative Tourism Group-Study Center (ATG) Written and Researched by: Dr. Manar Makhoul Design and Layout: Lisa Salsa Kassis Printing: IDEAS - Bethlehem 2 Table of Contents Preface 5 Introduction 7 Zionism and Tourism 9 Erasure 9 Appropriation 13 Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism in Palestine 18 Back Stage 23 Performance 34 Conclusion 39 Bibliography 40 3 Introduction Staged Authenticity The Israeli ‘Annexation’ of Palestinian Religious Tourism in the 1967 Occupied Territory 4 Introduction Preface In this study, ATG reinforces the views it has propagated in its previous journals. In the main, we make the claim that Israel’s validation for promoting tourism under its current strategy is two-fold. The study is multi-faceted and, therefore, is intended to attract a variety of readers, researchers, and justice-oriented travelers whose primary reasons for being in the Holy Land is to explore the truth alongside seeing the sites.

  • Coronavirus and Its Impact on Israeli Public Companies in Recent Weeks
    Coronavirus and Its Impact on Israeli Public Companies In recent weeks we have seen global capital markets colored red, following the corona virus outbreak worldwide, which many experts have been calling an “international epidemic”. The reaction of investors to the spread of corona virus has been characterized largely by panic in countries around the world and this has led to a sharp declines not seen since the global financial crisis in 2008 . The State of Israel has taken extensive, some have said extreme, steps, to limit the spread of the virus, one being a directive to self-isolate for 14 days for returnees from every destination in the world. As a result, airlines and tourism businesses in Israel have begun the process of layoffs and putting other workers on unpaid leave. In recent days the Israel Securities Authority has issued new guidelines for reporting companies in Israel, decreeing that in light of the spread of the virus, reporting entities exposed directly or indirectly must provide to the investing public detailed information, among other things, about the material consequences and effects of the corona virus on the results of their business activities in the near future as well as on how they will deal with the risks and exposures. Many reporting entities, including El Al, OPC Energy, IBI Investment House, Kishrei Teufa and Arad have issued announcements to the investing public about the real possibility of a negative impact on their business operations. In the field of tourism, Israel’s national airline, El Al, recently announced that in light of the new guidelines of the Ministry of Health, it is unable at this stage to assess the extent of the adverse effect on the company’s operations.
