The project – Hands-on-Heritage is based in the Old City of Akko and the Western Galilee. Its objective is to enable unique workshop-experiences in a World Heritage City that celebrates and commemorates the Crusader and the belated Ottoman cultures and in ancient historic sites of the region. Hands-on-Heritage presents unique opportunities for people from Israel and from all over the world to experience in the Western Galilee:
· Preservation workshops
· Open-home visits
· Behind-the-scene visits to heritage sites and a chance to meet and talk to some of the leading heritage experts in the country
· Walking-in-the footsteps of historical figures.
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.
Come and Taste Experience Discover – the Westen Galilee is NOW!
