TOURISM MINISTRY RECEIVES 32 GRANT REQUESTS FOR HOTEL CONSTRUCTION
AND EXPANSION (3000 HOTEL ROOMS) WITH AN OVERALL INVESTMENT
OF MORE THAN NIS2.5 BILLION
Tourism Ministry Director-General Noaz Bar Nir: “An increase in the supply of hotel rooms will directly contribute to reducing the cost of vacationing in Israel, in line with the reforms spearheaded by the Tourism Ministry in order to increase incoming tourism. The Tourism Ministry is making significant efforts to encourage the construction of new hotels within the framework of the Law to Encourage Capital Investment and investors are expressing their confidence in the expected growth in this industry. Nonetheless, Israel’s unique position, including the geopolitical environs and the low return on hotel investment in Israel, obligates us to offer grants for assistance in hotel construction.”
