According to Eyal Segal, CEO of HotelsCombined Israel, the revolution occurring in PA hotels is attracting tourists coming from Israel for several days to Ramallah or Bethlehem. Good reviews from hotel critics are not easy to obtain, as can be seen by a comparison with the marks given to five-star hotels in Eilat and Tel Aviv, which in many cases are in the 7-8 range. Tourism in the PA has been turned around, with international hosting standards being offered.
How much does a PA vacation cost? The luxury hotels are asking NIS 440-1, 180 a night. As noted by Segal, however, hotels there are also facing stiff competition from hosting apartments offering an overnight in Ramallah or Jericho for only NIS 70.
luxury hotels prices ranging from 440 to 1, 180 shekels a night, but also for them there is tough competition in front of apartment hotels offering accommodation for the price of NIS 70 per night in Ramallah or Jericho.
