Selling Tips:

• Travelers interested in culture and history are often hobbyists. Check out groups like photography clubs, book clubs, and universities with non-credit courses in history, art and culture.
  
• Check with university professors specializing in history, art and culture who may be interested in putting together a study group to Israel.
  
• Museums and art galleries often have patron groups who may be interested in a group program to Israel.
  
• Don’t ignore inter-generational travel, with grandparents who want to take their grandchildren to Israel to expand their knowledge of archaeology, history and the origins of religion.
