Until recently, Tel Aviv was full of tourists and in every corner of the city we could meet people from different parts of the world. The Corona epidemic has kept tourists out of the city and will probably not be back in the near future - but the city is able to make adjustments to the Israeli audience non-stop. In an interview with Eitan Schwartz, director of communications and marketing at the Tel Aviv municipality, he reveals interesting plans about the leisure culture that includes restaurants, shows and entertainment in the city, the adjustment to the Israeli audience and the thousands of apartments expected to return to the rental market, which is expected to lower prices in the city.

"The beaches and restaurants are opening and we were glad it was happening sooner. We are glad to have come to understand because these are two of the top attractions in the city and when they open we are likely to see many Israelis coming to spend time in Tel Aviv. Regarding restaurants, it is true that tourists coming from abroad accounted for a significant share of the restaurants. But we believe in the Israeli audience, believe the restaurateurs have been able to make adjustments and hope to see the Israeli audience return to the restaurants, "Schwartz said.

Tel Aviv hotels are closed, and when they open next week, a very significant problem is expected. In addition, rental rates in Tel Aviv are expected to fall significantly, "Hotels in Tel Aviv are 75% populated by tourists coming from abroad, the highest figure in the world. Of some city hotels that rely on tourists from overseas. Young travelers who have sacrificed experiences over objects and property are left without property and unable to continue traveling and there is also a dramatic impact on their income and that means they will not travel. Even if they say the sky is opening, a very large part of the public This will not come and go and we will probably see a decline in hotel prices in the city as in every place In addition, Tel Aviv is the city with the largest Airbnb apartment market in the world, and these apartments remain vacant and will probably not be occupied in the near future, causing the apartments to return to the rental market, which we tried to do even before the Corona period. A very large number of apartments that are expected to return to the long-term rental market. "

Tel Aviv has world-renowned restaurants, luxurious hotels, but one of the most prominent symbols of the city is undoubtedly the culture and nightlife that they also plan to allow the municipality to operate while implementing a creative and interesting solution, "according to the outline we have served with the restaurants, the bars will open exactly Like the restaurants and will not be a problem in this regard, social remoteness will work just as in restaurants.In recent weeks, the mayor has met many people in the industry including culture, restaurants and night culture and worked hard to promote the opening of nightlife restaurants and businesses - the world of the huge crowded events probably moved to the near future and everyone You will have to get used to event formats In open spaces that are designed to provide an appropriate and safe solution to these important things that so characterize Tel Aviv, we will see open air cultural events and events while socializing, Tel Aviv will continue to shape life so characterize it while obeying all the rules while dying solutions. "Creative will make the locals feel safe. Tel Aviv will be ready to accept Israeli travelers by any instruction. We will be pioneers in many areas and everything to enable tourism in the most pleasant and safe way." Tomorrow's protest will be held in the Charles Clore Garden in the open air, for the purpose of the protest, a large stage was built to illustrate what performances and events will look like in the near future.

One of the events that attract the most tourists to Israel is the Pride Parade postponed from June, with Schwartz implying that there is a possibility of a Pride event already this year, during the summer, but will probably be in a more limited and safe format according to the morbidity situation and the government's instructions. Regarding parties in closed places where people are supposed to dance, Schwartz said that various types of models are currently being tested to make it safest.

Schwartz emphasizes that, "In order to run the events in the open air, we obviously need the Ministry of Health's credentials alongside preparations from the creators. As far as the municipality is concerned, we need a short time to operate the operation. As we have already said,"
