Gate1 Travel and Groupon Team on $999 Two-Week Israel All-Inclusive

What’s a country to do when the fear of terrorism has tourists staying away? Why turn to Groupon, of course.

The tech-savvy state of Israel today rolled out a great deal in partnership with the online bargain site and a Philadelphia-area tour operator. They’re offering seven nights, eight days, and 11 meals in the Holy Land—including air, hotel, six breakfasts, two dinners, and tours—for just $999.

It’s the country’s first partnership with Groupon—“a great deal, but only for a limited number of people,” a spokesperson at the Israel Tourism Ministry in New York told TMR , as it is limited to the first 1,500 to respond. The promotion will run for two weeks, for travel in the traditionally slow tourist months of January and February 2016. Prices are based on double occupancy with departures from New York JFK.

For Gate1, Groupon means business On the back end, tours will be fulfilled by Gate1 Travel of Fort Washington, PA. It has been running three to five packages a week on Groupon for some time, and is “probably the most aggressive tour operator” on the site, said vice president Marty Seslow.

“We have everything from two nights in Dublin to two weeks India up there, every product in our arsenal,” he said.

Seslow declined to cite his total sales on Groupon, but noted that “we wouldn’t be there if we didn’t find it to be a good market.”

As for the Israel promotion, Seslow said, it is not a package he is offering to the general public, but rather one specifically designed in partnership with the State of Israel and Groupon, with the trio of partners seeing “an opportunity, where sales were challenging, to sell product at an inspirational price point.”

Despite the news reports of an uptick in terrorist attacks in Israel, he said, Gate1 has received only “a handful of calls with concerns” and no cancellations.

“You cannot ever guarantee safety,” Seslow said. “We’re very careful to explicitly tell our staff to let customers know that we do all we can to not put them in harm’s way—but not to say that travel is safe.”

As a general rule, he noted, “we tell people that traveling in a group is always the best situation for an American traveler, in Israel or in general.”

Travel to Israel has been slumping for some time, though Tourism Minister Yariv Levin also noted on Monday that the recent increase in terrorist activity at the street level, where individuals have been attacked at random, has resulted in “hardly any cancellations.”

The U.S. State Department website cautions American tourists about terrorist activity in Israel, but the post is from early in the year and has not been updated recently.

Dealing with danger Manny Paulo, vice president of product at Collette, also has not seen any cancellations, but is keeping “a very close eye out. Client safety always comes first, and Collette wouldn’t be sending clients out anywhere where their safety was in danger.”

As with tours in Africa, Paulo said, “there’s a wait and see attitude to see how things develop. It’s unfortunate that political events and economic conditions around the world have an impact.”

But many are not convinced.

Lynda Reich, president of Luxury Travel Consultants, a TRAVELSAVERS agency, said “people are uncomfortable” with the situation in Israel.

“I would have gone six months ago, but no way right now, because the terrorism is so random,” she said. “I have had clients go, though, and I just booked a family for next year. But I hope they don’t go.”

While the Groupon offer went live today, and the social media have been buzzing about it, the formal marketing campaign will not even begin until next week. “We’ll know in a week or 10 days if it’s working,” Seslow said.

Reviews of small group tours to israel.

Mark was great tour leader!
We booked a 10-day Luxury Private tour of Israel. Overall, we enjoyed the trip, but there were some disappointments and several surprises that were not clear in the offering materials. The best part was that the guides were quite good. Our guide on the second day seemed to be willing to stay with us until 7 pm, but we had not energy for that. Perhaps he was paid by the hour! The connections to and from the airports were flawless. One flaw was that none of the guides offered us a map of the country or locations we were visiting. We had to get our bearings on our own. On the first three days, our guides (Gil and Eli) charged us for parking fees and entry fees. Thankfully, you have refunded these fees. We wonder if these two guides were reimbursed by the tour company as well as collecting from us. Our fourth guide (Sarah) paid for all fees. On the last day, Moti also paid for all fees. Our guide on the third day, Gil, skipped the visit to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Instead, he just summarized it verbally while driving past it on the highway. When we said that the visit was on our itinerary, he replied: “It’s optional.” Ha Ha! He evidently wanted to get home early that day, as he dropped us off at our hotel at the Dead Sea at about 2:30 pm. Thus, we did not get the full-day tour for which we paid. Gil had incorrect information about which was our hotel at the Dead Sea, but it was cleared up by phone calls just prior to our arrival. We did not understand that we would have no continuity of service from Bookings. Tour guides picked us up in the morning and returned us to our hotel at the end of the day. We did not have the names of our guides in advance, and were not provided with a telephone number to reach them. As a private tour we were to have some discretion over sites visited. Some guides understood this while others did not. The itinerary in the offering materials for the days in the Galilee made little sense, but our guide (Moti) was able to construct tours that worked. Our major complaint is that you promoted this as a luxury tour, yet there was little luxurious about it. Our Jerusalem and Dead Sea hotels were good. Our Tel Aviv hotel was less than good. Our 3-day kibbutz stay was not good. At the kibbutz, the room was not properly cleaned when we arrived. The TV was tiny and barely functional. We were nowhere near places to eat the evening meal and transportation to/from dinner was not easy. We tipped someone to drive us to and from dinner one night. However, the kibbutz breakfast was excellent. We think you owe us a partial refund for the three nights we spent at the kibbutz. In the evenings, we wanted to watch the French Open tennis at the hotels, but the hotel in Tel Aviv did not offer that channel. Also, at that hotel, I asked at the desk clerk if they could change a 100 NIS bill. The answer: “No.” Also, in that hotel, the thermostat was set to a temperature that was too cold for us, but it COULD NOT be changed. The hotel desk clerk advised with a smile: “You could turn it off.” Though the location was good, the breakfast at that hotel was plentiful but not the best. We added a day trip to Petra, expecting it to be of the same quality as the rest of our trip. Far from it! We traveled on 40-person buses and toured with the same large group. The walking tour was long, and we had to pay $50 for a return golf-cart ride.
My husband and I had never been to Israel and booked this tour as a “bucket-list” event. Our tour guide, Efraim Native, was the best - he was a history professor, knew philosophy, religion, politics, economics, abd engineering - answering every question we had. He was friendly, helpful and made excellent food recommendations. Our tour covered Tel Aviv (our new favorite city), Haifa, the Golan (do not miss the Hula Nature Preserve), and Jerusalem (Old and New). We added the Masada/Dead Sea tour at the end. Finally, we chose the 5-Star hotel option and stayed in true luxurious accommodations). We will use Tour Radar and Click Tours again!
