  Travel News & Notes

"Christians making spiritual journeys to the Holy Land" - This headline is from Palm Beach Post-Cox News Service, June 22, 2008.  The article states that pilgrims are visiting Israel in record numbers and that 2007 was the best year ever for tourism to Israel with a record 525,000 American tourists.  Americans make up nearly 1/4 of Israel's tourists and it appears that they're returning in even greater numbers in 2008.

Looking for an alternative to high prices? ...travel in the winter!  Tour costs have increased significantly in the past year due to rising fuel costs, the weak dollar and inflation.  Groups can save significantly by traveling in off-season months such as January and February.  Israel's weather then can be rainy and cool but is rarely ever cold for extended periods  It can even be sunny and mild for days at a time.

August Tour Talk

...from Richard Page

Meredith and I recently returned from a Footsteps of Paul tour of Greece and the Greek Isles with Pastors Dick, Adam & Michelle Bernal and a group of 85 from Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose.  It is always a pleasure to travel with these long-time clients and friends.  I have just escorted 45 wonderful tour members from First Presbyterian Church in Greenville, SC led by associate pastor Lindsay Graham.  I also spent time with our good friends Karen Swanson and Carole Andersen and their Hearts for Israel group from Ft. Collins, Colorado.    

We're excited about 2 new Lands of the Bible/Steps of Paul cruises.  The first date is March 6, 2009 and will include 2 days in Israel.  Our March 20 sailing offers an optional 3-night extension to Rome.  Both sailings are from Athens with ports-of-call in Greece, the Greek Islands, Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Rome.  These exciting cruise programs include shore excursions - an average $300 value!  For more details, go to the Tours page. 

A word about rising tour costs:  Airlines, cruise lines and bus companies are passing along their rising fuel costs in the form of fuel surcharges, higher ticket prices and various fees.  Hotel and land costs are increasing due to high demand and the weak dollar.  However, the surge in travel to Israel and other destinations continues and we are experiencing tremendous interest and new groups signing up.  While we make every effort to keep our prices as low as possible, we believe our tours still offer excellent travel value. 

Oberammergau 2010.  The world's most famous Passion Play happens only once every 10 years.  Pastors or group leaders who wish to attend this world-renowned event in 2010 should be reserving their space now.  The tour package can include destinations in the Bavarian, Austrian & Swiss Alps or elsewhere.  Passion Play tickets must be secured well in advance, so call now for more information.  

                                                                    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

According to the Israel Government Tourism Office, there are approximately 100,000 tourists in Israel at any given time.  Clearly, tourists have never been targets of violence in Israel and none are being harmed.   

   For the facts about Holy Land travel, give us a call.  With 44     years experience, no one knows Israel like Ed Hill Tours.
