With Israel set to open its doors to tourists in May, local hotels are finally getting all their rooms ready after a year that has devastated the travel industry. But many are wondering, will anybody actually come?
“We hope our clientele will return, because we’ve always been about our regular visitors,” said Oren Schnabel of Tel Aviv’s Montefiore Hotel, part of the R2M hospitality group, which includes restaurants, bakeries, delicatessens and a cafe performance space. “This is their home in Tel Aviv and those people haven’t been here for a long time.”
