Make a Trip to Israel

 

 

 

Introduction

 

Israel has suffered in recent years from a lack of tourists due to the very complex political situation. Israel is sacred to Judaism, Islam and Christianity (and is also called the Holy Land); therefore, finding sites of interest for a variety of religions and tastes should not be too difficult.

 

The Task

 

In this activity you will plan a trip to Israel and produce a tourist brochure to attract tourists. Focus on the major tourist sites in the north, center and south of Israel.

 

The Process

 

Form a group of four students. Each one will be responsible for a different aspect of the tour.

 

Plan a tour which will include the north, center and south of Israel. Cut on expenses whenever possible; avoid 5 star hotels and expensive restaurants.

 

 For each part of the trip decide the following:

 

Ø     where to go and what sites to see.

Ø   what hotels or hostels to stay at.

Ø   where and what to eat.

Ø   what clothes to bring for that time of year.

Ø   how to get around the country.

 

 

 

Plan your trip while catering for the following needs:

 

ü    The artistic: this person prefers to visit in museums, exhibitions and art galleries.

 

ü    The adventurous: this person prefers to go on hikes, climb mountains, see nature, go scuba-diving, etc.

 

ü    The shopper: this person loves to shop and prefers to visit busy streets and with shopping malls.

 

Do not forget to integrate maps and pictures in your brochure.
