Tourism Minister Stas Meseznikov on Sunday called on the Histadrut Labor Federation to support legislation that gives tax benefits to workers who choose vacations spots in Israel.
Israel Radio reported that Meseznikov expressed satisfaction at the decision of the large labor unions to cancel group trips to Turkey amid the Jerusalem-Ankara tensions, and called on them to take the holidays in Israel instead.
