Hospitality & Tourism

Travel platforms, hotel chains, and tourism companies listing properties in illegal Israeli settlements

Travel and hospitality companies enable settlement tourism by listing properties in illegal Israeli settlements, normalising the occupation and profiting from stolen Palestinian land.

  • Settlement tourism: Online platforms list hundreds of rental properties in illegal West Bank and East Jerusalem settlements, enabling tourists to stay on occupied land
  • UN documentation: The UN Human Rights Council database lists travel companies facilitating settlement activities as complicit in occupation
  • Legal exposure: Criminal complaints filed in the Netherlands accuse platforms of money laundering from war crimes proceeds
  • Consumer power: Travellers can easily switch to ethical platforms that do not list settlement properties
  • Action: Use ethical booking alternatives, report settlement listings, engage platforms on policy compliance

Serious harm, and highly vulnerable to pressure. Start here.

Airbnb (recently updated)

Global home-sharing platform listed by the UN Human Rights Council for facilitating settlement activities through rental listings in illegal Israeli settlements. After announcing it would delist settlement properties in 2018, Airbnb reversed course under Israeli legal and political pressure in 2019, demonstrating vulnerability to targeted campaigns.

Booking.com (recently updated)

Booking.com is the world's largest accommodation booking platform, owned by the US-listed Booking Holdings group. It lists holiday rooms inside Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, and takes a commission on every stay. Researchers counted 41 such listings in April 2026, some of them on land Palestinian families still hold title to and cannot reach. Both the group and its Dutch operating company sit on the UN's database of businesses involved in settlements.
