Israel and Turkey have agreed in principle to cooperate in joint ventures to attract tourists to both countries, it was announced here today. The announcement followed a visit to this country by M. Shalit, director of the Israel Government Tourist Corporation who returned a recent visit by a Turkish tourism delegation to Israel.
Mr. Shalit also attended the meeting in Ankara of the regional subcommittee of the International Union of Official Traveling Organizations in which representatives of Turkey and Cyprus also participated. The meeting was boycotted by the Arab delegations because of Israel’s presence.
Tentative plans for cooperation on tourism by Turkey and Israel include the launching of joint publicity campaigns in the United States and Europe urging tourists to visit both countries on the same trip. Special posters and other display and printed matter will be circulated in each country to attract tourists to visit the other.
