Dekel Israel Tours

What Dekel Israel Tours does

Dekel Israel Tours LTD. is a privately held Israel-based tour operator headquartered in Binyamina and operating as a subsidiary of UMI Group, the diversified Israeli conglomerate that also owns Avis Israel and Universal Transportation Solutions. The company designs and delivers custom private tours of Israel for individual travelers, families, and groups, with a 24/7/365 personal concierge service covering accommodations, transportation, licensed tour guides, event planning, and on-trip support. Its core technology is a web-based booking and consultation platform integrated with the appointlet scheduling system for free initial consultations; there is no proprietary AI, API, or SDK offering.

The product portfolio spans fully bespoke custom tours and six pre-packaged itineraries (Israel Highlights, Jewish Heritage, Christian Holy Land, Culinary & Wine, Outdoor Adventure, and Archaeological Wonders), offered at Deluxe, Luxury, and Luxury Exclusive hotel tiers, plus trip extensions to Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE. Revenue is generated through one-time package sales and event-planning fees, with ancillary income from a Travel Insured International insurance referral partnership. The customer mix is vertical-oriented: Jewish families (with Bar/Bat Mitzvah as a flagship occasion), Christian pilgrims and church groups, synagogue and community organizations, and corporate incentive buyers, served through a dual GTM combining direct-to-consumer consultation-led sales and a B2B travel-professional agent channel offering commissionable packages. The company maintains USTOA and ASTA industry memberships and has achieved WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility compliance per Israeli Standard 5568.
