Dear Friends,

Despite the trying times we are currently experiencing, we are pleased to report that there have been no major cancellations in travel to Israel. This is certainly encouraging news to all of us. I would like to take this time to share with you some other positive news regarding Israel travel.

The Israel Ministry of Tourism has been working closely with Groupon to craft a special destination package which would make travel to the country more affordable. We are happy to announce that we have solidified such a package that includes: a full tour with accompanying guide, airfare, and 6 night accommodations all for the attractive price of $999. The deal launches today (October 22nd) with packages valid for travel between January-February 2016.

We encourage you to pass this exciting news along to other in your network in order that many others may utilize this wonderful opportunity to visit Israel.

In addition, IMOT recently launched its new Jewish website, http://www.israel.travel, devoted exclusively to North American Jewry who are contemplating a visit to Israel. The website contains a wealth of information for the first-time as well as seasoned traveler, and features our online advertising efforts that will continue over the coming months. We hope you will inform others about the site so that they can make use of the information it contains for their own travel plans.

The Ministry of Tourism is here to helpfacilitate your travels and make them an enjoyable one. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
