The report of Toursim in East Jerusalem prepared by IPCC in partnership with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) aims to explore the spatial development of the Palestinian tourism sector in East Jerusalem. IPCC initiated research in 2017 when tourism was considered a priority sector which required an in-depth study to identify the current tourism trends in the city and in Palestine and Israel in general as well as to analyse the spatial aspects of the tourism sector and options of potential development. More recently, IPCC has made special efforts to evaluate the tourism potential of East Jerusalem to contribute to the revitalization of the city’s economy and to alleviate the dire economic and social condition of Palestinian Jerusalemites as the tourism sector greatly impacts East Jerusalem’s economy and Palestinian Jerusalemites’ living standards in general, and the Old city and East Jerusalem Centre in particular.
