Why Invest in Israel?

According to King Creative Co.:

• Israel maintains a free-market economy with a regulatory framework encouraging foreign investment.
• 1985's U.S.-Israel Free Trade Agreement has eliminated nearly all non-agricultural trade tariffs.
• As of 2023, Israel's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) stood at approximately $509 billion, with a per capita GDP of $52,219.
• The economy experienced a growth rate of 6.5% in 2022, followed by a more modest 2.0% growth in 2023, reflecting both global economic conditions and regional complexities.

Despite fighting a multi-front war and the efforts of the BDS movement, Israel's economy has managed to sustain growth through 2024. Economic modeling predicts a GDP growth rate of 3.5% annually over the next five years, driven by exports in high-tech and healthcare sectors.

Despite Israel's challenges, the nation's innovation-driven economy, skilled workforce, and government support make it a prime destination for global investors.

What to Expect:

• Learn about the impact of the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement, antisemitism, and anti-Zionism and how to counter them effectively.
• Connect with Israeli business owners at exclusive business mixers and maximize investment opportunities.
• The Generation 2 generation team, our hand-picked excellent Jewish guide, and worship leader Joshua Rushing will host the tour.
• Tour the land, visit genuine historical sites, learn from great business minds of the past, and experience the Bible as never before!

Please email us to learn more about our trip cancellation policy.

Travel Medical Insurance: Due to the ongoing conflict, all participants must purchase travel medical insurance. Our policy is to buy a group plan from a reputable agency in the land for everyone on the trip, and passengers reimburse us. This cost is in addition to the trip price. Please email us for more information.

ETA-IL: The Israeli Population & Immigration Authority now requires travelers to Israel from visa-exempt countries (i.e., the USA, UK, Germany, etc.) to obtain an ETA-IL (Electronic Travel Authorization) to enter the state of Israel. An ETA-IL allows approved travelers to travel to Israel and stay for up to 90 days per visit. Your ETA-IL is generally valid for multiple trips for up to two years from the date your application is approved or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Applications can take up to 72 hours to process. Regardless of their home country, all travelers must apply for an ETA-IL no later than two weeks before the trip to ensure timely approval.

Flights must be booked separately. Please try to arrive at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport no later than 4 pm on the first day of the trip. Contact us if you would like flight recommendations. Tour participants are responsible for coordinating with the appropriate hotel(s) to extend reservations for early arrivals and late departures.  Please do not purchase airfares until you have verified your desired arrival and departure dates/times with us.
