itraveljerusalem site launched

iTravelJerusalem.com, a new easy-to-use web site offering travel deals, events and information highlighting tourism to Jerusalem, launched this week. The site employs Google Street views and HD videos to provide travellers with a virtual tour of Jerusalem’s collection of historical holy sites and modern attractions. The web site, available in English and Hebrew, also offers visitors discounts on reservations at restaurants and hotels in Jerusalem, and provides “smart phone”scanning capabilities of thousands of barcodes around the city accessing information about new events and attractions. The new site follows the recently launched http://www.visit-tlv.com , an English-language web site offering travellers up-to-date information on cultural events, festivals, travel tips and suggestions in Tel Aviv.
