Solar Energy Tours in Israel
Solar Energy Tours in Israel.
Solar energy constitutes a significant part of the new frontier of renewable energy achievable by Israel. The country has come up with new ways to use the sun’s energy to tackle the difficulties posed by large deserts and low water availability. Eshet DMC, one of the top destination management companies, has unveiled new solar energy tours in Israel, which focus on the innovative development of solar energy in the country.
As part of these sustainable tours, participants will visit the most important research centers and solar farms in the country. They investigate the solar energy farms on an industrial scale, which makes it possible to understand how Israel utilizes sunlight to produce clean energy. The itinerary involves visiting innovation centers where Israeli experts speak on renewable technologies, energy storage, and water conservancy, which is critical for the future of Israel’s sustainability.
In addition to observing large-scale projects, participants also take part in some hands-on efforts. These workshops are conducted by leading innovators and scholars from Israel and cover the recent advances in solar energy and sustainability. Participants are encouraged to participate in the discussion on the future of renewable energy and its global implementation.
These solar energy tours in Israel have an effect beyond education. Seeing Israel’s devotion to sustainable progress, it becomes apparent for tourists how advancement propels environmental improvement. This motivates companies, governments, and people to apply the same principles in their territories, making a positive impact on the ecosystem in the long run.
Eshet DMC has ensured that every tour is purposeful and informative, showcasing the State of Israel as an important player in the field of sustainability. By these solar energy tours, people get firsthand experience not only in learning renewable energy but also how technology can dramatically change perspectives in creating a better world.

Tree Planting Experience in Israel
Tree Planting Experience in Israel.
Reforestation is an important part of fighting against climate change as well as conserving fragile biomes. The Tree Planting Experience in Israel supports the rehabilitation of arid regions, decreases soil erosion, and reduces pollution. Eshet DMC allows visitors to experience these projects first-hand with unique tree planting events in various sites around the country, such as in Yatir Forest, one of Israel's foremost afforestation projects.
In this activity, people learn to plant local trees that help to capture CO2 and ensure the existence of a desert ecosystem. The Weizmann Institute and the Desert Research Institute have designated experts who take tourists through the techniques, explaining how trees help in water management, reducing desertification, and fostering local species. This provides tourists with vital knowledge on how trees are integrated into the balance of such sensitive ecosystems.
The Tree Planting Experience in Israel is a worthwhile and informative activity. Participants, regardless of whether they come alone, with family, or as a corporate group, leave Israel’s environment in better shape than they found it. Taking part in such activities plays a significant role in addressing the ecological issues of the region and ensuring the landscapes remain enriching for decades to come.
Eshet DMC puts an emphasis on trees because they have always wanted to promote sustainable tourism. Planting trees facilitates visitors engaging with nature, some of which aid Israel’s reforestation initiative. It is something that many guests would certainly want to participate in.

Discovering the Dead Sea
Discovering the Dead Sea -
Are you ready to see the Dead Sea like never before? Allow Eshet to guide you through rest, revival, and discovery as you explore this iconic Israeli destination.
First stop: The Dead Sea — a supernatural marvel. Imagine yourself effortlessly floating in the saline water, weightless and calm. It’s like being on a cloud…only with minerals that are known for their healing properties; so take a deep breath and dive into them! Play around as much as you need to while enjoying a refreshing dip in these rejuvenating waters.
But wait, there’s still more beyond Exploring the Dead Sea! Once you’ve had enough of buoyancy, treat yourself with some luxurious mud masks. Apply nutrient-rich earth from the banks of the Dead Sea onto your skin; it will thank you later when it feels nourished afresh by nature's own oasis spa day.
Then drive along scenic routes towards Masada – where history meets desert wilderness. Roam through ancient fortresses perched high up rocky plateausides overlooking dramatic landscapes below – listen closely as ruins whisper stories about civilizations pasts and battles fought hard hereabouts. From King Herod’s storied reigns to Jewish rebels’ heroic stands against Roman rule; Masada is waiting for adventurers willing enough to hear its tales.
When reaching its peak prepare yourself for breathtaking panoramic views over surrounding desertscape – like stepping right inside those postcards which have come alive again! Pause awhile taking everything in; let eyes wander across beautiful scenery then back down towards footprints left by countless generations upon sandswept dunes throughout time immemorial…

Flights to Tel Aviv
Flights to Tel Aviv: European Airlines Excell While Us Carriers Apply Brakes
The Tel Aviv flights split between two continents when considering how to arrive to Israel. While the American carriers Delta, United, and American Airlines are canceling routes to Tel Aviv due to constant regional fears, the European carriers are rolling out the red carpet. Travelers can expect expanded schedules and low-priced options to fly to the sunny beaches of Israel in 2025.

A Star Carriers – Continuing Long Suspend BA Flights
It is not easy for US Airlines to fly to Israel. While Delta and United have plans to continue flights to US, the rest of the operation is decided on a wait and see strategy, so all flights to Tel Aviv are on hold. On the other hand, American Airlines has taken a more extreme approach, as they do not have any flight plans to Israel at all, and have no intention of starting any plans soon.
What required this report are all the American Travelers. There are not enough direct flight options, and the remaining options involve complex itinieraries. But don’t worry, European hubs are here to save the day.
Good News Brace Yourself For: Expanded Flight Options.
On the other side of the pond, airlines are expanding their reach while U.S. Majors take a cautious approach. Here are the developments you can look forward to:
Lufthansa commences service with a daily frequency from Frankfurt and Munich from February 1. That’s right gents, you can now start your travel with a bratwurst and end with a falafel.
Swiss International Air Lines is now providing more than just mouth watering attractions, with daily connections to Zurich they ensure your Swiss chocolate has to extend beyond the aviation hubs.
Austrian Airlines will operate with a daily frequency to Vienna as who would not want a schnitzel stop over.
Brussels Airlines is now introducing three weekly flights and Eurowings now provides connectivity from Düsseldorf to Tel Aviv twice weekly.
And prehaps you are a traveller on a sensative budget, Wizz Air and Ryanair are here to deliver with the their incredibly low cost travel suits promising even more travel routes along with reasonable sway for the most active summer season.
Ben Gurion Airport: Pre Spring Modesty
Overseas and even within the major Tel Aviv airport, the month of January and February remains a tad idle for the 50,000 passengers to and fro and 300 international flights. There is however a major surge expected in the coming months as spring settles in.
As European carriers are expanding their operations, expect your journey to Israel to be more convenient with more options available to you. Whether it’s travel for business, leisure, or both, a European hub is always available to facilitate your journey.
What This Means for U.S. Travellers
If you are in the US and are looking to visit Tel Aviv, then here is a step by step strategy for you:
- Learn to Accept Layovers: Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, and Vienna are the new major hubs. These should be treated as mini trips before you finally reach your destination.
- Look into Budget Options: While Wizz Air and Ryanair are not going to be the most luxurious options, they are certainly going to be cheaper.
- Have Patience: Direct flights from the US to your intended destination are currently unavailable, meaning you will have to travel in a more scenic manner.
The Big Picture
Even though US carriers have not fully embraced this change, European airlines are starting to show that demand whenever it may arise, is a runway. An increase in connectivity in the upcoming months presents new opportunities for travel as they increase within Telaviv and beyond.
So, whether you’re purchasing a Lufthansa overseas ticket or searching for a Ryanair discount, there is one thing obvious: Israeli aviation is alive, and European carriers are at the fore. And as for U.S. airlines, well… they are a bit late to the party, let’s put it that way.
Lufthansa Group Brings Back Tel Aviv Flights
Lufthansa Group Brings Back Tel Aviv Flights
Attention travelers: pack your hummus cravings and brush up on your Hebrew! Lufthansa Group airlines—Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa, and SWISS—are resuming flights to Tel Aviv starting February 1, 2025. But there’s a catch: it’s a quick in-and-out operation. No layovers for the crew in Tel Aviv, ensuring they clock in, fly out, and stay safe.

Tel Aviv: Back on the Itinerary, but With Precautions
Flights to Israel’s vibrant, 24/7 city are back on the schedule, much to the delight of anyone who’s been daydreaming of beachside falafel, Bauhaus architecture, or the famous Carmel Market. However, while Tel Aviv gets the green light, it’s a different story just up the coast.
Flights to Beirut remain grounded, and Lebanese airspace is still on the “do not fly” list. As for overflights, Israeli airspace is once again fair game, which means smoother routes for travelers who’ve been detouring around it.
Safety First, Schnitzel Second
Lufthansa Group’s move is all about striking a balance between reopening connections and keeping everyone safe. The absence of overnight stays in Tel Aviv for the crew is a reminder that these are not your typical, carefree travel times. But hey, if anyone can manage a seamless turnaround flight, it’s Lufthansa and its equally buttoned-up sibling airlines.
What Does This Mean for Travelers?
For jet setters eager to return to the Mediterranean’s most dynamic destination, this is your cue. Whether you’re heading to Tel Aviv for business, a beach escape, or to track down the best shakshuka, Lufthansa Group has your back.
So, Mark Your Calendar
Starting February 1, Lufthansa Group Brings Back Tel Aviv Flights—minus the crew sleepovers. Book your ticket, pack your sunscreen, and get ready for the city that never seems to sleep. Just don’t expect your pilot to stick around for dinner plans.
Ryanair Resumes Flights to Tel Aviv
Ryanair Resumes Flights to Tel Aviv
Pack your carry-on and dig out that sunscreen: Ryanair is heading back to Tel Aviv with its full summer schedule. Why? Because resilient demand says “we’re not done with hummus and beaches just yet.” With Ben Gurion Airport’s Terminal 1 (the budget traveler’s HQ) set to reopen, Ryanair is gearing up to bring its no-frills charm back to the Israeli skies.
Need assistance with groups and incentives in Israel? Contact us.
Why Did Ryanair Leave in the First Place?
Let’s address the elephant in the room—or rather, the airspace. Ryanair hit pause on flights to Israel last year due to, well, global chaos. But now that things are looking up (at least in the aviation world), the airline’s ready to swoop back in. They’ve already warmed up their engines with flights from Jordan in December, proving they’re not just dabbling—they’re diving back in.
Summer in Tel Aviv: Budget Edition
The reopening of Terminal 1 is a win for low-cost carriers and the wallet-conscious traveler. Terminal 1 is the kind of place where you’ll skip the flashy lounges but still get to your destination with some change left over for falafel. And Ryanair is here for it, promising to bring back that full summer schedule for all your sun-soaked, hummus-filled adventures.
The CEO’s Take
Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson chimed in with some optimism: demand is strong, people are traveling, and the airline is eyeing growth despite the turbulence of recent years. He even hinted that Ryanair’s German traffic could double if costs were more “cozy.” (Translation: give us better deals, and we’ll bring you more passengers.)
The Big Picture
Ryanair’s renewed activity in Tel Aviv isn’t only good news for Israeli tourism but it also serves as an indication to add a European aviation recovery. Are you craving a seaside vacation or an immersive cultural exploration? It’s very simple – Ryanair is back, it’s affordable, and they are heavily investing into travel, that’s the point.
Ryanair Resumes Flights to Tel Aviv
So, if you’ve been itching to explore Tel Aviv’s vibrant markets, dazzling beaches, or world-class nightlife without breaking the bank, Ryanair’s got your boarding pass ready. Just don’t forget to pack snacks—because, you know, Ryanair.
UK Entry Rules Changed ETA Needed
UK Entry Rules Changed ETA Needed : Pack Your Bags and Your ETA
Attention, globe-trotters! Starting January 8, 2025, if you're from one of 48 lucky non-European countries, including the US, Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore, you'll need a shiny new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before setting foot in the UK. Yes, even if you’ve been waltzing in visa-free for years, the party now requires a cover charge.
Think of the ETA as your virtual backstage pass to the UK. Without it? No tea, no crumpets, no Big Ben selfies—just a one-way ticket back to wherever you came from.
Need help with your groups and incentives in the UK? Contact us!
The Rundown on the UK’s ETA
- Who needs it? As of January 8, you do if you're from one of those 48 countries. Come April 2, European visitors will join the ETA queue too.
- Who doesn’t? British and Irish citizens (because, duh) and anyone who already needs a visa.
- What does it cost? Just £10, which is basically two lattes in London. It covers multiple trips for up to six months and stays valid for two years.
- How to get it? Online or via a dedicated app, because in 2025, even immigration is going digital.
Which Countries Need to apply for an ETA?
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Argentina
- Australia
- The Bahamas
- Bahrain
- Barbados
- Belize
- Botswana
- Brazil
- Brunei
- Canada
- Chile
- Costa Rica
- Grenada
- Guatemala
- Guyana
- Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (including British national overseas)
- Israel
- Japan
- Kiribati
- Kuwait
- Macao Special Administrative Region
- Malaysia
- Maldives
- Marshall Islands
- Mauritius
- Mexico
- Federated States of Micronesia
- Nauru
- New Zealand
- Nicaragua
- Oman
- Palau
- Panama
- Papua New Guinea
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Qatar
- Samoa
- Saudi Arabia
- Seychelles
- Singapore
- Solomon Islands
- South Korea
- St Kitts and Nevis
- St Lucia
- St Vincent and the Grenadines
- Taiwan (if you have a passport issued by Taiwan that includes in it the number of the identification card issued by the competent authority in Taiwan)
- Tonga
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Tuvalu
- United Arab Emirates
- United States
- Uruguay
Why the Fuss?
The UK says this is all about digitising borders, boosting security, and making sure they’re keeping out more than just the rain. The ETA will even run a quick background check to ensure you’re not secretly an international supervillain. (And if you are? Well, better start Googling “UK visa application” now.)
What Happens If You Forget?
Here’s the deal: no ETA, no entry. Not even if you're just passing through Heathrow to change planes. Oh, and don’t bother asking your airline for a refund if you're denied—they’ll be too busy sticking to the small print.
How Does It Compare?
If this all sounds familiar, it’s because countries like the US (ESTA), Australia (ETA), and Canada (eTA) have been running similar systems for years. The EU’s ETIAS is also on its way in late 2025, so soon we’ll all be playing a global game of digital hopscotch just to visit each other.
Industry Says "We Got This"
Experts claim the travel industry is ready for the ETA rollout, thanks to years of dealing with similar setups elsewhere. The advice? Plan ahead, apply early, and double-check your travel documents, because nobody wants to start their holiday by getting turned away at the border.
What’s the Big Picture?
The UK is simply hopping on the digital bandwagon, aligning its travel protocols with global standards while making sure its borders are as secure as they are rainy. So, get your ETA sorted, pack your umbrella, and remember: Big Brother is watching, but at least he’s keeping it affordable. £10 for two years of hassle-free trips? Not too shabby.
UK Entry Rules Changed ETA Needed
