Israeli Hotels Cut Prices for Tishrei Holidays Amid Rising Demand

Ahead of the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot, Africa Israel Hotels is launching discounts of up to 20% across its properties nationwide. Participating hotels include Indigo Tel Aviv, Poli Urban Tel Aviv, Crown Plaza Tel Aviv City Center, Poli House, Vert Lagoon Netanya, Vert Dead Sea, and Hotel Sint, with special offers for AFI community members. Liron Dalal Ard, sales manager at Africa Israel Hotels, noted a surge in early bookings as many Israelis prefer to secure their holiday vacations in advance, offering a range of options from urban stays in Tel Aviv to family vacations in Netanya and luxury retreats at the Dead Sea.

In a significant industry move, Almog Group and its partners at 'Praa' have signed an agreement to merge their hotel operations into a single company, Tomivers Hospitality Ltd. This merger combines Praa's operational expertise with Almog's development and financing capabilities, creating a platform for hotel ownership, development, and management across Israel. The combined portfolio will include five upcoming projects in locations such as Mitzpe Ramon, Tel Aviv, the Jordanian Highlands, the Dead Sea, and Haifa, totaling 488 hotel rooms after completion.

Responding to increased demand for family vacations in cooler and natural destinations, Club Med will deploy Hebrew-speaking Israeli guides at selected children’s clubs in the Alps and Seychelles during August 2026. This initiative aims to ease integration for Israeli children and provide peace of mind for parents.

In Haifa, Meno Shipping, operator of the cruise ship Crown Iris and owner of the Crown Plaza Haifa hotel, is offering a combined cruise and hotel package. Guests purchasing cruise tickets receive a 7% discount on the cruise and a 15% discount on hotel stays, encouraging visitors to enjoy Haifa and its surroundings before or after their cruise.

Additionally, Pango, the Israeli transportation app, is expanding into international car rentals through a partnership with Hertz. Users can book rental cars worldwide via the Pango app with a 15% discount, streamlining the reservation and payment process for travelers.

These developments reflect a dynamic hospitality sector in Israel adapting to evolving traveler preferences and expanding service offerings ahead of the holiday season and beyond.
