"Booking.com to put warnings on listings in illegal Israeli settlements", 19 Sep 2022

Global hotel booking website Booking.com is introducing a warning to customers visiting listings in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. 

The warning states that bookings for listings in an Israeli settlement will tell users that “visiting the area may be accompanied by an increased risk to safety and human rights or other risks to the local community and visitors”.

“In accordance with this goal, we are attempting to ensure that our clients have the information needed in order to make decisions about destinations they wish to visit,” Booking.com told Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Israeli media reports said the warning will be introduced on Thursday and may include the word “occupied” in the amended listings for Israeli settlements.
