RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israel's Ministry of Tourism plans to provide grants for investors wanting to build hotels in West Bank settlements — grants amounting to as much as 20% of the total intended investment.
The ministry's decision April 18 followed a meeting with Israeli tourism associations in the West Bank in early 2019, when they acknowledged that Israeli hotels in West Bank settlements can't accommodate a large number of tourists, making it difficult for tourists to travel there for more than one day, TV7 Israel News reported April 30.
