The Tel Aviv promenade
May 2013 has registered an all-time
record for incoming tourism both in terms of tourists and visitors. 336,000
visitors entered Israel in May 2013, and of these, 283,000 were tourists
(staying more than one night). Since the beginning of 2013, 1.4 million
visitors arrived in Israel, 1% more than the same period in 2012 and 7% more
than 2011. This represents another record figure for the months January-May.
"Tourism is an essential
economic growth engine for the economy – it creates jobs in cities and the
periphery and generates about NIS 30 billion every year," said Tourism
Minister Uzi Landau. "We have a wonderful tourism product and we must
realize its inherent potential.”
