'Eco & Sustainable Tourism Israel' is a network member of the 'Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria' (GSTC) initiative:
Why Israel?
Israel is located in the crossroad of three continents – Asia, Africa, and Europe – and therefore it is rich and diverse in natural and cultural attractions. Within a short journey, tourists can enjoy an immensely diverse range of activities that cater to all tastes, interests and capabilities.
Why Ecotourism?
In order to ensure the long term attractiveness of Israel's unique and diverse natural and cultural resources, tour operators together with tourists must use resources in a most sustainable way - and educate others to act the same!
Their effort will pay off soon enough.
Our Mission
In order to keep Israel an attractive destination, we help tour operators – by publicity, training, guidance, financial and technical support and more – to be or to become ecological.
