About us…
The importance of the association’s activities took on a new meaning after the outbreak of the corona plague, where the entire tourism industry was fatally damaged. The association worked with the Knesset and with the decision-makers in the Ministries of Health, Tourism and Finance in order to promote the field during a difficult period, and to ensure that the voices of the owners of the attractions are heard.
