Elevator pitch: It all started with a dream to build an organisation of Palestinians and Israelis, Arabs and Jews. This goal has been achieved successfully by merging advocacy for peace and justice with economic enterprise, through offering alternative tours produced and managed by a bi-national team.We go beyond the standard tours offered by the traditional tour companies and take our guests off the beaten track to explore the situation on the ground, and examine the differences in citizenship rights, legal and political status between people of different religions - in addition to classic tourism and visiting religious and historical sites

FAQ:
- Q: What is the estimated monthly income on a 1000 usd investment, when do I start receiving my profits, and how often you distribute the profits, and finally do partners have a priority to work if they were specialized in tourism?
  A: Great questions. As we detailed in our disclosures in this web page, while the company generates a good cash flow, there are few net profits due to our re-investment in the growth of the business, and disbursements to further our social goals. As a social enterprise we make money in order to do good. Thus far we have not distributed any profits, although the value of our shares has tripled since we issued shares to our early investors. However we cannot make any promises for the future since ...
- Q: If I decided to invest in you using this crowdfunding campaign, how would i get my legal documents and stocks certificate, What is your nearest estimated date of profits distribution ?
  A: You will receive a legally binding notice via email of your ownership of shares. There is no actual paper certificate. Sorry but at present we do not distribute profits or dividends.
- Q: Please describe your advocacy and human rights activities.
  A: Great question. We advocate for democratic values and human rights during our tours, and illustrate these concepts through meeting people and visiting the separation wall, West Bank settlements, and refugee camps. Our profits fund solidarity work on the ground and international advocacy for peaceful democratic change
- Q: How can you campaign for equality when half the people want to live in a western democracy and half want to live in an islamic style country (probably dictatorship). Its utopian but utterly unrealistic.
  A: If what you say is true (and many would disagree), then there is even more of a need for our work. Join us in our 'utopian' adventure. Become part of the solution.
- Q: Why the company margin has shrink when compared to 2017. Considering that you guys increased revenue should the cost decrease as you were engaging more tours?
  A: Because we are still a young and growing company, we plow our profits back into marketing in order to sustain the growth. This results in small margins, as does our mission to put our extra cash into social change projects and political action. The value in our shares is in their growing value, which has tripled (trebled for you UK folks) since they were issued - and the knowledge that your investment will help foster an environment for progressive change in Israel and Palestine.
