Approximately 284,000 tourists from around the world arrived in Israel in March, a 13% increase compared to the same period last year and a new all-time high for tourism to Israel.
More than 705,280 tourists arrived in Israel between January and March 2014, a 17% increase compared to the same period last year. The US is the number one source of tourism to Israel (20% of tourists to Israel come from North America), followed by much closer destinations such as Russia, Germany, France and the U.K.
“We are thrilled to see a continual increase in tourism to Israel following last year’s record-breaking figures,” said Haim Gutin (pictured), Israel Commissioner for Tourism, North and South America, “which attests to Israel’s growing reputation as one of the world’s most unique and inspiring travel destinations.”
A record 3.54 million tourists from around the world arrived in Israel in 2013.
