After more than two years of sealed borders due to COVID, “people are traveling in droves, and we expect 2023 to be a banner year for Israel,” said Eyal Carlin, the Jewish state’s Commissioner of Tourism to North America.
Carlin described new statistics showing the first six months of 2023 at 12% higher than the same time in 2019 as “extremely encouraging” and pointed out that during the final full year before the pandemic “was our best” so far.
