JERUSALEM [JCNS] —
Israel Minister of Tourism Moshe Kol. in an interview in The Jemsa-lem Post, said the Israeli government would shortly have to decide whether it still wanted to develop Israel as a major tourist destination, particularly for world Jewry and Christian pilgrims, but also as a major holiday centre in the Mediterranean.
The Alternative, he said, was to jettison those national and state aspirations in favor of the narrow and exclusive interests of the national air carrier. He referred to his "ongoing istniggle" for the liberalization of Israel's present charter policy. He was convinced, he said, that Israel was pricing itself out of the tourist market and the only practical way to lower air fares was through selective introduction of charter flights.
Kol dismissed as "transparent devices" arguments that the introduction of charters would endanger El Al's landing
tions of their national airlines. And not a single national carrier collapsed as a resuh." he stated.

"The fact is that the overwhelming inajority of countries and certainly all those who desire large tourism, have permitted charters, each with certain limitations according to its specific interests, in order to supplement the opera-

JERUSALEM —
Marching for all ages has made tremendous strides in popularity in Israel within the last 10 years. Originally started by the Israel Defence Forces after they had been participating in the yearly Nijmegen March in Holland, the first march took place in 1956 and was so enthusiastically received that it became an annual event. Marches were later opened to civilians and now draw between 15.000 and 20.000 entrants each year.
The most popular event, the one-day Jerusalem March, will take place on Sept. 24.

His Excellency Moshe Kol,
f&e, as representatives of the American Jewish community assembled here at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York, this 6th Day of Tammuz, 5735 —June 15,1975, do resolve that pilgrimage to Israel be established
as a prime community objective,
iVnd, whereas tourism to Israel is of incalculable importance in fostering broad areas of understanding between the people of the United States
and Canada and the people of Israel,
And, whereas tourism to Israel is of major significance in the strengthening of bonds between the American Jewish community and the Jews of Israel;
MIe do hereby urge the immediate appointment of a communal leader in every congregation and synagogue and in every Jewish organization throughout this continent as a Uaison officer with the brad
Tourism. Thesle officers to servje^as thebasis for the establishment of a nationwide network of tourism volunteers to work toward significantly ^ increasing American travel to Israel.
lie call upon all national organizations to hold conventions
in Israel regularly,
And, we further resolve to call upon every congregation and synagogue to revive the ancient tradition of'' Aliya LaRegd'' as a means of further encouraging pilgrimage to Israd.
