PassportNews Live @ IMTM 2026
One of the biggest tourism events of the year has started, and the PassportNews studio is ready for it. The studio returns to the heart of the IMTM International Tourism Fair, prepared for two long days of interviewing leaders in the aviation industry from Israel and around the world, alongside key tourism figures, hoteliers and the biggest influencers in the industry in Israel.
Tourism Minister Haim Katz will open the special broadcast. The first day will also host the Director-General of the Ministry of Tourism, Michael Itzhakov.

Later, there will also be panels featuring leading bloggers in the tourism industry in Israel, who will talk about their work as influencers in the field and as those who lead the future of the industry for individual travelers, couples, families, and for the industry as a whole.
