Role of tour guides in promoting peace between Israelis and Palestinians is a research project supported by Stenden University. Its goal is to investigate the existing differences and similarities in the interpretive discourse of Israeli and Palestinian tour guides, with the hope of bridging historical, cultural, and geopolitical gaps, hoping to advance pragmatic and progressive recommendations that may contribute to a peaceful coexistance between the two peoples. It is hypothesised that tour guides have different interpretive discourses, thereby distorting the peace ideal of coexistence through their myopic interpretations of cultural and historical tourism sites in the region.

Please check back with us for the results. You may also communicate with us via the “community thread”. Comments and suggestions that can help us understand the complexity of the phenomenon of tour guiding in the region are most welcome.
