Israel’s tourism and interior ministers this week unveiled a 10-year plan aimed at developing the country’s tourism facilities in order to accommodate an anticipated 5 million tourists annually.
The plan includes projects to build tourism facilities in 14 areas, including the Golan Heights, whose future is currently under discussion in Israeli-Syrian negotiations.
At a news conference this week, Tourism Minister Uzi Baram and Interior Minister Haim Ramon said the development plan calls for building basic infrastructure, such as roads, as well as for building more hotels.
