Intifada’s Effect on Israeli and Palestinian Tourism
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing the degree to which hostilities between Israel and Palestine have affected Israel’s tourism industry and suggesting means of overcoming some of the inherent problems of promoting tourism in the area.

It is also unlikely that Israel will return to the number of tourists it hosted before the second intifada began, at least until reason prevails in the region.

The overwhelming desire for peace has created some questionable solutions to attaining this most elusive entity; in its attempt to address its long-standing discord with Palestine, Israel has done so at the great expense of its own people. Should Sharon's controversial decision to uproot no fewer than nine thousand settlers be construed as an acceptable approach for peace at any cost?
