Israel s IMTM expo pushed to October
TEL AVIV, May 4, 2021 Despite statements by Israel s Ministry of Tourism on the opening of inbound tourism, the International Mediterranean Tourism Market 2021 (IMTM) will be pushed from June to October as most exhibitors from around the world are not allowed to enter Israel. Eyal Shmueli, one of the initiators of the exhibition, said: The State of Israel has partially and limitedly opened its gates to inbound tourism, while most of the countries participating in the fair do not meet the conditions of the Ministry of Health. Out of 50 countries that were supposed to attend the IMTM International Tourism Exhibition, only a few will be able to enter, so we are forced to postpone the exhibition until the end of October. The virtual exhibition currently taking place will continue until October 17.
