Director General of the Association of Travel Agencies: "The Aviation Agreement is Excellent News" • Israeli airlines are preparing to operate passenger flights to the Princesses

The implications of the aviation agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates concern quite a few areas, the main of which is tourism.

In the first phase, more than 110 monthly flights are expected to operate between the countries.

Israeli citizens will not need a visa to enter the principality.

Currently, it is possible to enter Dubai after performing a corona test, so the holiday in the Emirates is closer than ever.

The agreement is expected to take effect in about a month - and the direct derivative of this is that in the coming weeks Israelis will be able to fly on vacation in the Emirates.

Ali a-Sheba, director general of the tourism and marketing department at the Ministry of Tourism in Abu Dhabi, said earlier: "We will be very happy to receive Israelis as soon as the agreement enters into force, we will bless them with a 'peace' blessing and we will host them wholeheartedly.

The United Arab Emirates is your second home. "

Duncan Bouro, senior vice president of the marketing department at Etihad, said: "We are waiting for us to operate flights to Israel. We have collaborations with other companies and of course a large variety of follow-up destinations. We still do not know what the exact prices of flights will be, but we will offer a variety A wide range of products and we are sure to be very attractive, "his creator referred to the possibility that the world's largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, will arrive in Israel:" At this stage, we will not operate it on the route to Israel.

The one that has already published prices for flights to the Emirates is Arkia.

The company is expected to operate direct flights to Dubai from the beginning of next year.

The price of flights will start at $ 149 in the direction of excluding luggage.

Bringing a suitcase involves a $ 30 fee.

Tali Laufer-Epstein, CEO of the Association of Travel Agencies currently in Abu Dhabi, stressed the importance of the agreement: "This is excellent business news for Israeli travel agencies and agents, who are so thirsty for a livelihood during the most difficult period the tourism industry has known.

A vacation in the Emirates is a perfect product - only three hours of flying, the highest level hotels in the world, beaches, shopping and everything the Israeli tourist can dream of. "

The delegation, which was initiated by the Maman Group, includes Dudi Rubinstein and Abed Masri, travel agents from the ultra-Orthodox and Arab sectors.

They expressed mutual excitement: "This is a real peace, a happy and unifying event for all of us. The ultra-Orthodox audience will also enjoy kosher food and exemplary hospitality here, and the Arab sector in Israel will be impressed by all the good that the Emirates has to offer."

The future is already here: the Abrahamic Convention Conference

Beyond the tourism aspect, the agreement signed yesterday has quite a few important business meanings.

Amir Shani, Vice President of the Chambers of Commerce, who is also in the Emirates, commented on the new market that has been opened before us: "The agreement opens up the possibility of trade between the two countries. In addition, transportation times for cargo will be shortened - which will lower the cost of living in Israel."

Many Israeli companies have already been prepared to provide solutions for pilots to the Emirates.

For example, some insurance companies have started marketing policies for pilots at reasonable prices of a few tens of shekels per day.

In addition, Pelephone will offer large Internet packages that include 15 GB of surfing, 300 minutes of talk time and unlimited use of the leading applications for NIS 249, with the option of adding an additional subscription for NIS 29.
