Dear Friends,
With spring finally here, we are more excited than ever to welcome travelers to Israel to experience the spectacular lineup of events and festivals scheduled to take place this season, including the highly anticipated Tel Aviv Arts Year festival, featuring various art-centric events taking place throughout 2012.
We hope to inspire first-time travelers to the Holy Land with the wealth of historical holy sites; and surprise return travelers with the new selection of boutique hotels, restaurants and art and entertainment attractions during the temperate spring months.
Shalom,
Haim Gutin
