The thesis in hand heavily draws on this belief, for it examines external representations of Israel/PT in German tour operator’s offers and national tourist board’s advertising material. Based on the premise, that external representations of countries may in fact construct social 'truths' and shape national iden- tities, the thesis relates tourism in Israel/PT to the overall development of the region. Tourism's role in peace-building and development has been studied and debated thoroughly. It is widely acknowledged that tourism can be used as a tool for development, especially seeing that tour- ism is a growing industry.2 Furthermore, alternative forms of tourism may serve as catalysts for more just and sustainable forms of globalization.3 Yet, this may only be achieved, if tourism is designed adequately so that principled and ethical practice is reflected in particular travel itineraries. Judging tourism from a development politics point of view is especially significant when it comes to tourism within conflict areas. International actors may affect outcomes in fragile states in both posi- tive and negative ways.4 This challenges the tourism industry to contribute to peaceful and sustaina- ble development in those countries. Judging by the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism, the United Na- tions World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) firmly believes tourism to be a force for peace and a fac- tor of friendship and understanding among the peoples of the world. According to the code, the tour- ism industry carries significant responsibility to objectively and comprehensively sensitize tourists prior to their trips, especially if they travel to conflict regions.5 In this regard, travel catalogues, as well as, material provided by national tourist boards represent important distribution- and impact channels. The thesis in hand draws on these sources as primary units of examination. The representation and practice of tours to Israel/PT is significant in terms of the economic and to some great degree also for the political development of the region. It affects tour- ist’s awareness and perception, which

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs T\wo PIVOTAL DATES IN 1992 were April 9, the date of the general election, which resulted in a close Conservative victory; and September 16 ("Black Wednesday"), when the pound sterling was forced out of the fixed-rate European Monetary System. In April the Tories, led by Prime Minister John Major, returned to power, defying the predictions of the pollsters but with a much reduced overall majority of 21. Neil Kinnock resigned as Labor leader, to be replaced by John Smith. The campaign was marked by successful and sustained Conservative attacks on Labor's alleged tax-and-spend policy. Much was also made of signs of the onset of economic recovery, but this did not materialize, and the continuing high level of interest rates (barely reduced from 10.5 percent to 10 percent in May) squeezed the life out of the faint revival in consumer spending. In fact, unemployment increased by 35,000 in the first 11 months of 1992, and manufacturing output at year-end was almost no higher than in 1979, when the Tories first came to power. The summer was spent trying to reconcile the need of the domestic economy for a looser monetary policy with the constraint imposed by membership in the Euro- pean system. This precarious balance was upset by several events: the Danish rejection of the Maastricht treaty in a referendum on June 2, a further increase in German interest rates in July, and the unilateral devaluation of the Italian lira by 7 percent early in September. The pound sterling meanwhile sank to the bottom of its permitted level against the deutsche mark.

    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.

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.
