Around 1 million more tourists are expected to visit Israel as a result of the project, if it gets the go-ahead. The provisional name for the park is the Galilee World Heritage Park which will cover nearly 50 hectares (125 acres) north-east of the Mount of the Beatitudes where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, and Capernaum which known as the town of Jesus in the Bible.

The plans for the Park include a garden and nature park, an auditorium, a Holy Land exhibition, outdoor amphitheatres, information centre and a media studio.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be around $48million or (£28m), with the project expected to bring in large numbers of jobs to the area
