Fighting back: Palestinian bloggers promote tourism as an act of defiance By Saturday Jul 10, 2021 Travel bloggers Malak Hassan and Bisan Alhajhasan visit the village of Burin near Nablus to help out in the olive harvest season.

But she says they try to show the world that there’s another side to them, other than occupation and violence.  Tourism reminds the world that Palestinians own this land. And it reminds Palestinians that they have a land to return back to,” Hassan said. Hassan is one of two women travel bloggers – the other, Bisan Alhajhasan – who last year founded Ahlan Palestine , a blog that aims to promote tourism in the West Bank and Gaza as an act of defiance.
