The Tourism Ministry will be granting Israeli hotels compensatory grants of up to 300 million shekels ($89 million) for losses sustained due to the COVID-19 lockdowns, the ministry announced Sunday.
Tourism Minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen said, "I invite hoteliers, from large and small hotels, to submit their application and get the support they need."

In August, the government decided to compensate the country's hotels, but no money has been disbursed due to squabbling about which establishments would be eligible for the aid.
To qualify for a grant, a hotel will be defined as one "comprising at least 11 rooms, which provides paid accommodation services for guests and for limited periods of time, as well as ancillary services including catering, recreation and leisure," the Tourism Ministry explained.
