Connecting People, Communities, and Hospitality Solutions

ISTRA Association – The Home of Israel’s Short-Term  Rental Community

The ISTRA Association is the official body representing short-term rental property owners in Israel. Our mission is to advance the hospitality sector, establish professional standards, and provide comprehensive support for both property owners and guests.

We collaborate with government entities and Jewish communities worldwide to offer high-quality and affordable housing solutions for Diaspora Jews visiting or immigrating to Israel. Additionally, the association plays a crucial role in providing emergency housing solutions during crises, offering support to families in need.

Our activities include connecting hosts with guests, fostering strategic partnerships, offering guidance and assistance to property owners, managing social initiatives, and leading projects to strengthen Israel’s hospitality community.

Our achievements so far...

During the war, the ISTRA Association worked tirelessly to assist evacuees who were forced to leave their homes due to the security situation. Our efforts focused on providing immediate solutions for basic needs, emotional and psychological support, and creating a safe and supportive environment for affected families and individuals. In addition to housing, we provided hot meals, essential supplies, clothing, and everything necessary to help evacuees feel secure and cared for. We extend our deepest gratitude to all the volunteers, donors, and partners who contributed to this tremendous effort. It is only through collaboration and a shared willingness to help that we were able to bring hope and relief to hundreds of families during their most challenging moments.
