ALBAWABA - Israel's Tourism Ministry is embarking on a transformative five-year plan for the Gaza border area, spearheaded by Tourism Minister Haim Katz, according to ynetnews.
This ambitious project aims to include hotels, an amusement park, and a memorial site, drawing parallels with Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem.
Minister Katz envisions the construction of the Middle East's largest Ferris Wheel as a focal point to rejuvenate communities and attract tourism.
The envisioned complex resembles the successful Nova festival near Re'im, featuring areas for concerts and parties, hotels, and various attractions.
The primary goals of the initiative are to restore the region to its pre-October 7 state, emphasizing open nature areas and tourism attractions, all built on modern infrastructure.
Additionally, a documentary project is planned to narrate the journey from commemoration to revival, preserving the stories of communities until October 7.
Elad Ernfeld from the Israel Government Tourist Company envisions creating a vibrant tourist site that serves as the "craziest party club in the world," fostering an atmosphere of celebration while commemorating the past.
He emphasizes the importance of not forgetting but continuing to live. The proposal also includes plans for a massive amusement park, the largest Ferris Wheel in the Middle East, concert venues, a party complex, B&Bs, hotels, glamping, and a historical memorial site.
The aim is to offer a comprehensive and enjoyable experience for visitors, generating employment opportunities for local residents.
