The proposal of Tourism Minister Haim Katz was accepted to lower the rate paid to hotels and to make subsistence payments to evacuees who will be staying with family members, friends, etc. At this stage, the Treasury allocates 150 NIS per day for an adult and 100 NIS for a child. The Tourism Ministry, with the assistance of the Israel Hotels Association, will manage a control room that will work in cooperation with the Interior Ministry. The control room will manage the system for the absorption of evacuees into tourist accommodation facilities, including hotels, youth hostels, and more.
The Tourism Ministry has called on the owners of guest rooms and hotels to make their vacancies available for the benefit of the evacuees.
A new compensation agreement
Katz created a new outline for indemnifying hotels for the accommodation of evacuees on behalf of the state, which is expected to save the state tens of millions of NIS, both due to a lower accommodation rate and due to the elimination of brokerage fees by agents which was customary until now.
