We reject the notion of a “birthright,” as embodied in Jewish-only fully-funded trips to Israel. Israel has ignored the internationally recognized right of return for refugees, but has created a “Law of Return” which extends citizenship benefits to any person of Jewish heritage, excluding millions of Palestinians born in the land that has become Israel. Our programs attempt to address this injustice by facilitating access typically denied to the communities with whom we work. Jewish people often face obstacles of fear and lack of knowledge which can deter them from pursuing this kind of experience on their own. Palestinian people face movement restrictions and other human rights violations which limit their ability to visit places we travel to during our trip. As international people with a knowledge of Palestine/Israel, we are able to work with both communities to contribute to understanding and addressing these obstacles and restrictions."

Travel & Encounter (T & E), an exclusive program of the Holy Land Trust. As a licensed travel agency based in Bethlehem, since 2000, we have been unveiling the beauty and the secrets of the Holy Land. Our non-traditional programs and services focus on people, not just landmarks, distinguishing our programs from traditional tours of Palestine and Israel. Although we specialize in organizing tours in the Holy Land, our services extend also to Jordan and Egypt. T & E provides travel opportunities of all kinds, for all people. We believe in presenting the Holy Land in a way that is quite unique, unexplored and uninhibited. Our tours are tailored to the individual or the group. You may choose to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, visiting ancient churches, mosques and synagogues, and exploring ancient Canaanite and Roman cities; or you can discover what lies behind the scenes in modern day Palestinian society. We offer unparalleled opportunities to become acquainted with local culture, language and politics through our home stay programs and our extensive network of NGO affiliates. Visits to Palestinian and Israeli communities, traditional meals and candid conversations with local leaders and members of the community, tours of refugee camps, and volunteer opportunities will all help to put you in touch with the beauty of a country rich in culture and history. Increasingly groups are offering tours based around Palestinian Summer camps, involving children and olive picking.
