Sustainable Tourism Law

PLANNING FOR A SUSTAINABLE TOURISM – THE ISRAELI EXPERIENCE 817 prevail in this respect and allow it to act for implementing sustainability in regard to tourism development. In that respect the idea of “Green Hotels” or “ecological hotels” could be mentioned. The “Green Globe” organization, for instance, offers a ‘green label’ certification to hotels and other accommodations that are integrated and function harmoniously with the environment, instead of impairing it. Hardly any hotel in Israel has won such certification, but some accommodations in a kibbutz (cooperative village) offer visitors a journey to their agricultural surroundings while staying with them.
