The “Tour and Immigrate” project aimed at encouraging tourists to immigrate to Israel, marked a new phase with the arrival of 40 Jewish tourists from Greece this week, the first such group to arrive from that country. The group will remain in Israel for 10 days to study business opportunities. The project, initiated in 1968, deals mainly with businessmen and college graduates who are considering immigration to Israel.
