On Sunday, September 29th, 2016, twenty-nine students of the Hadassah Academic College and Ben-Gurion University tourist track left for Greece for the second season of a "Study tour to Greece".
The goal of the course is to meet with tourist site managers to understand how sites are operated and maintained (including cities, villages, and nature reserves).
