The Globes 2013 Israel Real Estate Conference
The Globes Real Estate Summit will set the agenda for a national housing policy for Israel. A long-term national housing policy,
which will stay in place even during changes in government, characterizes every Western country.
The time has come for Israel to have a clear and unequivocal national housing policy. Such a policy will include
the establishment of a national authority for urban renewal and affordable housing, which will create a differential policy
for a supply of new housing for an extended period, and will adjust the housing supply to the needs and demands
of the country's diverse population.
Israel also needs a structural reform in planning which can implemented beyond the slogan of the "balcony reform,
with planning at the national level which will maintain strategic interests alongside specific planning
at the local level for municipalities and neighborhoods.
The Globes Real Estate Summit will present ways to solve Israel's housin shortage, such as granting property rights
on a national scale and a real options for affordable housing and urban renewal in poor neighborhoods.

TOURISM MINISTRY RECEIVES 32 GRANT REQUESTS FOR HOTEL CONSTRUCTION
AND EXPANSION (3000 HOTEL ROOMS) WITH AN OVERALL INVESTMENT
OF MORE THAN NIS2.5 BILLION
Tourism Ministry Director-General Noaz Bar Nir: “An increase in the supply of hotel rooms will directly contribute to reducing the cost of vacationing in Israel, in line with the reforms spearheaded by the Tourism Ministry in order to increase incoming tourism. The Tourism Ministry is making significant efforts to encourage the construction of new hotels within the framework of the Law to Encourage Capital Investment and investors are expressing their confidence in the expected growth in this industry. Nonetheless, Israel’s unique position, including the geopolitical environs and the low return on hotel investment in Israel, obligates us to offer grants for assistance in hotel construction.”
