The travel agency does not name the names of the hotels, but the tour has already been paid for !!! What to do?
Paid for a tour to Israel through a travel agency. They said that there would be a hotel **** I signed an agreement on the spot, and then only asked which hotel I would live in. I was told that they cannot give such information, and I will find out about it before the trip itself. Who had this? I'm in a panic, I'm flying for the first time and it turns out that into the unknown !!!! What to do? Please tell me!!!

If you are very afraid - break the contract. But in this case there will be penalties.
Though you needn't worry. In most sightseeing tours to Israel, there is such a practice that the cost of the tour depends on the star rating of the hotel. What exactly will be the hotel is really known before the departure. This is due to the fact that the hotel is booked by the host (a travel company in Israel). All such tours have a guaranteed list of hotels, i.e. a list of hotels in one of which you will stay.
The manager of the company is obliged to provide you with this list before signing the contract.

I don’t argue, maybe everything is true, but “such a practice” is somehow unexpected. How about in other countries?

In other countries, the hotel is known for earlier... except for "roulette" tours

I asked in the sense: in other countries, does the host not book?
TO can't directly book hotels in Israel?

If you bought a tour to Israel cheaper and using roulette (the Turtess company calls it Turtess Bingo), then you will find out about the hotel where you will live before your departure or already upon arrival in that country) .... But I warn you right away , if you want to save money, you can (not a fact) ruin the whole vacation for yourself ..

Thank you all for your replies, but I think I've already solved the problem. I called the tour operator directly. And it turned out that the agency could not name the hotels for me, since the tour operator would book the hotels only within a couple of days and only then they would give the data to the agency, and they, in turn, would inform me))). So they said that by the end of the week I would know everything.

For sightseeing tours, it is a common practice when hotels become known a few days before the tour. I am also going to Israel in a couple of weeks. Hotels will be specified a few days before departure.

Israel is not a country where you should bother about a hotel. To be honest, there is no star rating there at all (this was the case in the USSR), there are simply better and worse hotels. You have chosen 4 * - there is nothing to be afraid of, this is not a three, where there can be a complete collapse. However, cheap hotels are always in great demand, because. tourists go to the country not because of the hotels, but because of the sights.

Both in Israel and in other countries, one must take the choice of a hotel seriously! Unfortunately, all tour operators used to practice this - when ordering a sightseeing tour, it was impossible to choose hotels. But the stronger the competition becomes, the better for tourists! Now tour operators who are professionally engaged in Israel publish SPECIFIC hotels in each category in the tour programs! As a result, the cost of tours becomes lower, and the quality of the service provided is higher!!!
