We’ve been waiting for you here at Treasures of the Galilee.
Thank you for coming!
The “Treasures of the Galilee” project is a non-profit initiative established in 2013 by the philanthropic businesswoman and social entrepreneur Raya Strauss Ben-Dror, who heads it.
The project which involves hundreds of tourism businesses in the Western Galilee, was established to increase tourism activity in the region.
The “Treasures of the Galilee” is part of the “Spirit of the Galilee” initiative, also founded by Raya Strauss Ben-Dror, and aims to bring about an economic and social leap forward in the Western Galilee. This is done by improving the quality and standard of living of its residents based on its unique story and assets. Approximately 200 regional leaders (mayors, academics, senior doctors, industrialists and other business people) participated in formulating the leap forward plan. They focused on several key growth engines for the region, including tourism, industry (the percentage of people employed in industry in the Western Galilee is significantly higher than the national average, and there is also a concentration of advanced metal industries) and multiculturalism (in the Western Galilee, people of all ethnicities and religions in Israel live in peaceful, respectful and good-neighborly relations).
Ultimately, the Western Galilee is expected to become an engine of economic growth for the entire country and a source of inspiration for other regions in Israel and the world.
The western Galilee is a unique and multi-cultural region that stretches between mountains and sea, where different ethnic groups live in peace and mutual respect. This creates an exceptional and enriching experience.
“Treasures of the Galilee” has gathered the best tourism businesses in the Western Galilee, offering a variety of vacation options ranging from a one-day getaway to a multi-day vacation.
Since its inception, the project team has helped hundreds of member tourism businesses and thousands of organized groups from Israel and around the world get to know the Western Galilee and come there for vacations. During the years of Treasures of the Galile project’s activity, tourism traffic to the Western Galilee region has increased by over 50%.
Welfare managers, human resources, agents and tour guides are invited to use the Galilee Treasures team to establish contact with tourism businesses in the Western Galilee.
All tourism businesses that are members of the project were carefully selected after being examined and met the high standards of the Treasures of the Galilee, with the aim of providing a perfect hospitality experience.
The recommended businesses of Treasures of the Galilee, are businesses that are members of the project and that we highly recommend visiting. Our recommendation is based on ongoing contact with the entrepreneur including an annual visit.
