(Statement from a meeting in Bonn, Germany on marketing the Guidelines for Pilgrimage)
Bonn – Germany 21-23/5/2012
We are proud to present to you our Code of Conduct for Tourism in the Holy Land which was launched in November 2008 and provides guidelines for a fair and beneficial tourism for all.
ATG and JAI are organizing the 10th Olive Picking Program from 19-28 October 2013. It's a program of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
You are most welcome to join us.

The Nativity Trial is not just a trip; it is a journey of dialogue, openness and interaction with new people.

In a joint effort between ATG and the Joint Advocacy Initiative (JAI)-- "Life Under Occupation: An introduction to the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories"
