Gift Shop - Closed Indefinitely?, by ctvicious on Oct 6, 2020 20:42:27 GMT 1, Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this. Since the Walled Off Hotel is temporarily closed due to COVID lock downs, I noticed the hotel website said "We are phasing our current range of merchandise and will not be re-stocking any of these products as they sell out".
Does that mean the gift shop has halted new item production? or that it's just temporary hold until the Hotel opens back up?
I don't know how the Hotel is holding up economically but nervous that it will shut down.

The banner you posted was up way before the hotel closed , at present When the hotel was open as stock sells they will not be re introducing more of the same stock , last chance to buy basically
With a vaccine stated not ready likely until next year summer , the hotel may not re open as original it was only planned to open for a year and had done well to be open this long , before the hotel introduced the gift items the hotel was lacking guests and was very quiet .all down to how bad Covid is this winter?
Everyone had ample opportunity to purchase Items , box sets dropped to ยฃ300 at one point for a good six months
The stock left I imagine staff are selling on their eBay accounts

I hope that is the case. Any idea if the staff are getting paid at all?

You hope it doesn't open again? Why?

No sorry. I hope that staff are selling boxsets, postcards and posters on eBay to feed their families whilst their ability to earn a living is restricted ๐๐ผ

Gift Shop - Closed Indefinitely?, by coller on Oct 6, 2020 21:28:19 GMT 1, given that the mediterranean sea view auction was to benefit BASR hospital in bethlehem, i am inclined to think that Banksy is also taking care of the WOH and its employees. he seems to keep bethlehem/palestine pretty close to his heart.

Would be nice to think that although Iโve not seen any mention of it happening so concluded that it wasnโt. If it was, where would he draw the line? The guys that did the walking tours? Ashraf, Alaโa? Etc etc?

๐ala is loaded in that area 100$ is average monthly wage ? Ala when the hotel was open was clearing 2-300$ a day and at night he was running a restaurant
When I was there saif chased our taxi , cut him off and had a big argument in the middle of traffic as he thought he stole his fare !
The guys in and around the hotel have made well above the local average wage and are well off , most of the staff are from well off families and have higher education , the local communities and kids in the ghettos need support

Alaa is a nice guy but it doesnโt seem right that he has a monopoly over the hotel taxi service when others are struggling to get by

He took advantage and got in first as he has good English , a lot of the other taxi drivers have poor English and thus struggle to attract fares plus he took advantage of social
Media and asked guests to drop his name on TripAdvisor . Just read the comments from 2017 ๐
I did use other taxi drivers to help others but it is nice to have dialogue about the surroundings when your traveling for 1-4 hours

We first got in his taxi at Manger Square and he came and picked us up next day for a bit of a tour. Went back few months later and arranged for him to collect us in the morning and Alaa wasnt too pleased. |
