Al-Natsheh explained that “Expo Travel,” which was announced by Hebron Expo management, is a specialized platform that brings together tourism, travel, aviation, hotel and restaurant companies in one place, with the aim of exploring tourist destinations, displaying the latest services and offers, and building new opportunities for cooperation and partnerships.
