As a large tourism company, we know how important it is to our clients to see the world as it is: natural, clean and clear. This is the reason that we have combined forces with 4ocean that works to clean up plastic refuse in the oceans for a cleaner environment.
4ocean is known for the bracelets it produces from the plastic that it removes from beaches around the world. Every bracelet funds recycling of about half a kilo of plastic removed from the ocean. One bracelet reduces pollution; thousands of bracelets make a change.
As part of our contribution, we purchased tens of thousands of 4ocean bracelets and gave them with an informative paper about the problem to every client that booked a holiday connected in some way to the sea.
We believe that cleaning up the oceans starts with each and every one of us, and we have made it a goal to raise awareness of the subject among Israeli tourists.
