One of the participants in the 18th International Mediterranean
Tourism Market show was Tour Shomron, the Shomron Tourist Authority
which operates under the auspices of the Shomron Regional Council.
Tour Shomron was on hand in order to encourage more people to come
and enjoy the beautiful sites of Samaria.
“There are many things you can do in the Shomron,” Kuti Ben-David, a
tour guide with Tour Shomron, told Arutz Sheva. “There are boutique
wines, there are hikes, organic farms, archaeology, a lot of bible,
and very very good people.”
Ben-David said that most people are not at all deterred and are happy
to tour the area of the “settlements.”
“Most of the people, when we ask them if they want to hear about the
Shomron, stop, sit down, take a card, take a few maps and leave their
phone number,” he said.
“People enjoy the Shomron and they are surprised because they think
they are going into a war zone and when they come they see the view,
they see the people, they see how quiet it is all around,” said Ben-
David.
