Last week, the cybersecurity company WIZ flew hundreds of its Israeli employees to a resort in Khao Lak, southern Thailand, for five days to mark the exit sale to Google for $32 billion. The employees were housed at a Marriott resort with about 280 rooms, and the cost of the vacation is estimated at up to 20 million shekels. On-site, dedicated sports and leisure complexes were built, including a performance stage, an artificial 7-Eleven branch branded with WIZ, and water sports facilities. The highlight was a performance by singer Katy Perry, costing an estimated $1.5-3 million. Perry faced criticism on social media for performing for an Israeli company linked to Unit 8200, but did not respond. The deal was closed in March, and the event production took about six months.
