Israel to gay tourists: Were open for you!
Nelson Alcantara
Israel was featured as the Travel Destination of the Year at last week's Equality Forum 2012, a global LGBT summit in Philadelphia.
The Israel Ministry of Tourism (IMOT) said it had a booth at the summit, providing participants with information on LGBT travel to Israel.
According to IMOT, it participated in various events throughout the weekend, including: the panel on gay travel, along with leaders from the Israeli and American gay communities; the International Equality Dinner, which featured Michael Oren, Israel Ambassador to the United States, as the keynote speaker; and SundayOUT! at the Piazza, an outdoor party which featured performances by LGBT Israeli pop stars and DJs.
