The Israel School of Tourism is a professional training institution established in 1962 to prepare people for careers in tourism, hospitality and travel. Managed by the University of Haifa, it offers courses and professional development for tour guides, overseas group leaders, travel agents, tourism consultants and other industry professionals.

Students can also study hotel and tourism administration, adventure and desert guiding, forest-workshop facilitation, and travel-based activities involving nature and challenge. The school provides continuing education for licensed guides seeking to renew their credentials, alongside information about course schedules and professional resources for students and graduates. With branches in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa, it brings tourism and hospitality subjects together under one institution.

The school describes tourism as a multicultural profession that connects people and supports understanding across borders, and offers graduates pathways to further academic study in tourism
