To Table of Contents to also lessen societal gaps between disabled and nondisabled people .
Although I do not have a role model , I like Bill Gates ’ approach to Malaria in Africa - the fact that he has tried to solve this pressing health issue , and try to fundamentally change the status quo in Africa in relation to the disease . I wish someone like this would understand accessibility and the need to fix it and make it better . No one wants to be disabled , but it can happen to anyone at anytime . You can fall , get into an accident , and it especially happens as you get older . Anything you do now to help the situation with accessibility will make life better in the future .
We focus a lot on tourism through the organization , both on domestic and foreign tourism . We also focus on private vacations and organized tours . We want Israel to be a leader in accessible tourism . It ’ s the holy land and a beautiful country . And the question is , how do we make it accessible for tourists and tours ? What we have done throughout the years , including legislation for hotels , public transportation , and attraction sites to be accessible , these are all making more places accessible . And of course the result is that there can be more revenue for the tourism sector . And we are working with the Tourism and Foreign Affairs Ministry to promote all of this . So , we are working with places to promote their accessibility and make it public so that when someone like Fred comes to Israel he has it easily available to him to understand how accessible a hotel / restaurant / attraction is .
We are also working with the top 100 attractions in Israel to make it 100 % accessible , and with tour guides on how to make accessible trips .
Outside of work , I am a workaholic . I work around the clock for this organization . I like being with my family , my kids and grandkids . I love travelling and more and more there are hikes that are wheelchair accessible , which is nice . I love going to concerts , especially blues shows , and restaurants too .
