The tourist industry of Israel marks an unprecedented increase in the flow of Russian tourists. Whether this is due to the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, or the increase in the number of flights between the two countries, the fact of popularization of the Israeli direction during the winter season is unshakable: in January, more than 47 thousand of our compatriots took part in the local cities and resorts

The announced figure exceeded by 17% a similar indicator of a year ago. With regard to visits lasting more than three days, their number has grown by as much as 48%, reaching a mark of 34, 5 thousand. Thus, Russian travelers increasingly prefer to stay in Israel for a longer period.

The local Ministry of Tourism recalled that between January and December, 603 thousand Russians visited Israel, which is only 3% higher than the 2012 tourist flow. It is obvious that the Israeli tourism industry can count on much more impressive figures in the current 2014.
