Israel turns its focus to Indian Cuisine to woo Indian Tourist
It is a known fact that Indian tourists do enjoy Indian food while they travel to any overseas country. Having analyzed the importance of Indian food for the Indian traveler, the IMOT (Israel Ministry of Tourism) has invited India’s prestigious flight kitchen company, Taj Sats to conduct workshops at culinary institutions in Israel to familiarize chefs of the leading hotel chains with Indian food.
Over the years Israel has been receiving more and more Indian tourists and the demand for Indian cuisine has always been growing. The tourism industry in Israel is ensuring that they cater to every need of the Indian traveler.
Indian restaurants already operate in various cities in Israel. However serving Indian food in hotels has several constraints on account of kosher requirements. Kosher are Jewish dietary laws where there is total separation of meat and dairy and certain foods are forbidden. Keeping in view of these restrictions, Israel will introduce Kosher Indian meals to our tourists which will suit both vegetarian and non-vegetarian palettes.
“We feel that our leading chefs will be able to assist Israeli chefs to make a difference in making the Indian tourist feel at home in Israel.” says Sagar Dighe, CEO, Taj Sats
“This is a positive step to further boost tourism and facilitate the needs of the Indian traveler in Israel.” says Hassan Madah, Director, India.
