As Palestine is a main tourism destination, over the years, Bethlehem has developed a strong tourism product. Hotels, restaurants, souvenirs stores, cultural centers and museums are all part of the Bethlehem tourism product. During the Bethlehem 2000 project, millions of dollars were invested to give this ancient town a face lift in preparation for the millennium. Old Cores in Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour were carefully restored, streets and infrastructure improved.

The Center for Cultural Heritage Preservation:
The Center for Cultural Heritage Preservation was founded in March 2001 with the mission of providing a sustainable mechanism for the protection and management of cultural heritage in Bethlehem.

The building which houses the center dates back to 1912 which makes it one of the oldest thoroughfares in the Bethlehem city core. The building was rehabilitated and restored by the Bethlehem 2000 project with the support of the French Government. For more information please visit: www.bethlehem2000.org/cchp
