“On the occasion of this meeting, Minister Bogdan Trif found that Israel is developing, at the same time as our country, an electronic tourist guide in the form of an interactive digital map in which all tourist attractions are highlighted. The two officials have agreed that the two countries exchange information and good practices for developing promotional apps,” reads the press release.
