HLITOA meets with Italian Delegation to discuss Italy’s bid to host the 2030 expo

The Holy Land Incoming Tour Operators Association (HLITOA) engaged on Thursday, August 31 in a critical meeting with a high-profile Italian delegation dedicated to securing Italy’s bid to host Expo 2030 in Rome. Beyond the discussions surrounding Italy’s bid, the gathering shed light on the pivotal importance of international cooperation for the Palestinian tourism sector.

At the heart of this collaboration lies the potential to elevate the Holy Land’s profile as a must-visit destination. By forging strong ties with Italy, a country steeped in history and culture, Palestinian incoming tourism stands to gain a substantial boost. The synergy between these two regions holds the promise of attracting more visitors to the Holy Land, capitalizing on the unique cultural and historical treasures it has to offer.

The forthcoming World Expo 2030, which will be determined by the Member States of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) through a democratic one-country, one-vote process, represents a platform where Italy’s bid is particularly significant. This collaboration signifies more than just the pursuit of hosting rights; it is a vehicle for strengthening global awareness of the Holy Land as a tourist hotspot.
