Neve Paritzki Israel is celebrating record-breaking tourism entry The numbers from the United States

NEW YORK - September 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -new record-breaking tourism arrivals from the United States were announced today by the Israel Ministry of Tourism. The country received 78,000 travelers from the United States during July 2022 which was an increase of 4% over the year before and 71,000 travelers from the United States during August 2022. That's 13% growth over 2019.

Eyal Carlin from North America was the Tourism Commissioner. "The United States is our most important market for Israel's inbound tourism. Before the COVID-19 pandemic we saw record-breaking numbers of tourists from Israel visiting Israel every month. We are extremely happy to witness an improvement in the trend and expect this trend to last throughout the months and years to come."

Canada is poised to surpass Israel's tourist arrivals by attracting 7,200 tourists to Israel in July 2022, and 6,600 in August.
