A Voice from Israel on the IIPT call for Peace Though Tourism has been initiated by private DMC owner known for the storyteller, tourism hero Dov Kalmann,
Officially, Israel did not respond to the IIPT call for Peace Through Tourism. However, International Tourism Hero Dov Kalmann in Tel Aviv shares his own optimistic and powerful message in support of a peace-through-tourism push by the private travel and tourism sector in Israel and other countries in response to the IIPT challenge set by Ajay Prakash, the Indian-based president of the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism.
International Tourism Hero Dov Kalmann in Tel Aviv shares an equally optimistic and powerful message of optimism for a peace-through-tourism push by the private travel and tourism sector in response to IIPT.
In his vision, Israelis will soon be seen touring Beirut, Damascus, and Saudi Arabia, while tourists from across the Middle East will be welcomed by Israel.
Tours combining Mecca and Jerusalem may be on the horizon soon, and Europeans or Americans traveling to the Middle East may be able to easily combine destinations.
Tourism has an enormous potential not only for new business, but also to advocate for peace instead of more bloodshed.
He calls on tourism stakeholders from across the Middle East to come together and set a path of growth and prosperity for everyone.
The World Tourism Network would be honored to facilitate such a discussion, said its founder and chairman, Juergen Steinmetz from Germany.
