EcoTourism in Israel -- lots of info, one website!


I have just discovered a wonderful website for those thinking about a Green Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Israel. It is called EcoTourism Israel and can be found at http://www.ecotourism-israel.com/Index.htm
in English and in Hebrew.

EcoTourism Israel is dedicated to supporting green and sustainable eco-tourism by connecting businesses in the industry with tourists looking for eco-friendly vacations.
The site is well organized, with 4 main categories:

National and Cultural sites which includes a list of National Parks and Nature Reserves, World Heritage Sites and other sites of cultural interest. This section is full of useful information and reliable links to the Israel Nature and National Parks Protection Authority website.

The Activities section has everything from mountain biking, desert archery, solar powered go-carts, to basket weaving, bird watching and bee keeping. You will surely find just the right activities to keep all the members of your family entertained and green in Israel.

The Accomodations section has everything, for any budget - hotels, motels, and guest houses to organic farms and camping sites. Many of these businesses are especially interested in solar energy, water conservation, and other issues specific to sustainable life in Israel, a typical Mediterranean climate.
,
Food – Restaurants, pubs and cafes of course - but also organic farms, wineries, cheese making workshops, olive oil presses, and more.

Michal Wimmer-Luria, one of the founders of EcoTourism Israel, is interested in working with Green Bar Mitzvahs in Israel in order to make her partners aware of the needs and interests of families coming from abroad to celebrate bar and bat mitzvahs in Israel. She encourages interested families to contact the partners directly with inquiries.

You are also welcome to ask me any questions regarding green bar and bat mitzvahs in Israel.
Send me an email - I look forward to hearing from you!

  1. The greenest ecolodge in Israel is by no doubt the Negev Eco Lodge:
