Three Israeli villages have been selected by the Ministry of Tourism to present their candidacies for the UN’s World Tourism Organization’s “Best Tourism Villages.” These are the Circassian village of Kfar Kama, the exotic Neot Smadar in the Negev and the historic village of Zippori in the Galilee. The selection will help develop tourism and safeguard the unique rural villages. Mitch Pilcer, the manager of Zippori Village Country Cottages and activist in the tourism industry there said his village’s optimal location was behind its continuous human presence for over 10,000 years and who have all left their mark.
