Are you a Tour Operator looking to provide your guests with a truly memorable and authentic cultural experience?
At People not Places, we offer a wide range of cross-cultural opportunities to learn about and interact with Israel’s local communities.
Tourists today are no longer satisfied with just visiting archaeological sites or experiencing destinations through the window of a bus. Rather, they are looking for a cultural encounter where they can meet and connect with local people on a more personal level. They want to experience holidays, do workshops on handicrafts, and learn about each other’s cultures and traditions over a home-cooked meal. As such, one of the fastest growing trends in tourism today is cultural tourism.
If you are looking for a more active experience than the traditional guide-led tour, then a workshop or volunteering opportunity is the perfect alternative. For example, traditional handicrafts are a window onto the local culture, its natural resources, and symbolic life. By participating in a handicrafts workshop, guests produce something with their own hands that they can take back home with them that is far more meaningful than any generic, mass-produced souvenir that they might purchase in a local shop.
At People not Places, our culinary tours do not simply provide you with the opportunity to sample various foods, but present you with the social, historical, and symbolic context that is lacking in other tours. Most importantly, we encourage our guests to come together around food to meet locals and to hear their stories while sharing a meal together.
So Yalla – come break bread with us!
