Message from the Director![]() Alternative Tourism is quickly becoming mainstream in Israel and Palestine due to the huge surge in visitors during 2008. However many tours in this genre are also conducted by settler organizations whose message is the consolidation of Israel's grip on the entire country. The recent yNet article, Crossing the Line, illustrated this trend with a glowing endorsement of 'Greater Israel' tours. One of the reasons I founded ToursInEnglish.com last year was because I had noted this trend and wanted to counter it.
