Despite the Strife, Tourism in Israel is at an all Time High
Perhpas it’s the 60th anniversary as more visitors came to Israel in 2008 than in any year since the independent State of Israel was founded in 1948. "This is the first time ever more than 3 million tourists came to Israel in a single year," says Arie Sommer, Israel’s Tourism Commissioner for North and South America, "and this underscores Israel’s attractiveness to travelers of all nationalities, faiths, ethnic backgrounds and interests."
The United States is Israel’s number-one source of tourism, with the United Kingdom, Russia and France the runners-up. "Close to three-quarters of a million North Americans visited Israel in 2008 – also a record," added Sommer.
