German health officials are visiting Israel to learn about the opportunities and health benefits available at the Dead Sea, while Israel's tourism industry hopes to promote medical tourism from Germany. A delegation of representatives from Germany's Health Ministry and health funds arrived in Israel for a three day visit at the initiative of the Tourism Ministry, the Dead Sea Hotels Association, and the Tamar Regional Council. The objective of the visit is to present the medical benefits of the Dead Sea and remove any obstacles for German tourists who are interested in receiving medical care in Israel.
