We need to collect personal data from you in order to respond to a travel inquiry, tailor build an itinerary for you, execute your booking, keep you up to date with travel news and offers, or send you promotional material.
We need to collect your personal data in order to effectively provide you with travel services, including but not limited to building an experience tailored to your likes and preferences; making hotel, touring, transportation, restaurant and other bookings for you; and ensuring you receive tourist rates for services (which in Israel are frequently tax free).
Examples of when and how we may collect your personal information include the following:

  • Name and address

  • Date of birth
  • Passport details
