Tel Aviv is the new Miami
The Tel Aviv municipality has launched several information points for tourists – except you might have a tiny bit of a problem locating them since they are mobile!
Our friends at Green Prophet report:
The unique, colorful Segways can be found on the streets of Tel Aviv seven days a week from 13:00 – 19:00, particularly in areas of concentrated tourist traffic such as the Tel Aviv Port, the boardwalk or tayelet along the seashore, Jaffa, the Neveh Tzedek neighborhood and Rothschild Boulevard. The stewards on the Segways offer tourists general information and details about events and special happenings in the city, and distribute maps, flyers and promotional material that will help the tourist make the most out of his time in the city.
It seems like Tel Aviv has finally warmed up to the huge potential the city has a tourist destination and the potential revenue that such a destination can bring. The Association for Tourism Tel-Aviv-Jaffa has also recently launched a new website promoting tourism to Tel Aviv (though the video on launch is a huge web design no-no). The site features events, nightlife, restaurants, free walking tours, bus tours and of course Tel Aviv’s incredible and accessible beaches.
New York Artist Sends Free Boxes of Peace to Israel
(Israelity blogger Karin holding her free box of “green” peace)
Everyone around this area of the world seems to be talking about peace a whole lot, with not much being done.
What if peace were free and could come in the mail if you just placed your order?
That’s just what happened when we heard about Franck de las Mercedes, a New York based artist who as an expression of his art and desire for peace, sends free peace boxes to anyone around the world who asks for one.
Labeled FRAGILE, Contains: Peace, your postal carrier might look at you strangely when you have the box delivered. The weightless, odorless and tasteless contents inside don’t look like much, but the gift sure can get your friends and family thinking.
(An up-close look at our “green” peace box sent to Jerusalem)
Our peace box pictured above, was sent during the month of April to honor Earth Day. That’s why it’s a “green” peace box. Order yours today! Or as Ziva from Designist Dream says, Give Peace a Stamp!
