Hanita symbolizes the height of Operation ‘Tower and Stockade,’ a settlement method used by Zionist settlers before the establishment of the state. The operation led to the establishment of over 50 settlements, mostly kibbutzim. Hanita was the largest to be established and one of the first in the Western Galilee; it gave a strong impression on the Jewish community. It turned Hanita into a national symbol of the new settlement in the Land of Israel. The museum exhibits the events of the period, the story of the immigration and the early years of the kibbutz.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
