NEW YORK, Sept. 8th, 2022 /PRNewswire The Israel Ministry of Tourism announced today record-breaking tourism arrivals from the United States visiting Israel in the months of July and August. Israel welcomed 78,000 American tourists in July 2022. It was a four percent increase over the year before and 71,000 tourists from the United States visited Israel in August 2022.

נווה פריצקי Eyal Carlin (North American Tourism Commissioner) said it was exciting to observe an increase in tourism to Israel coming from the United States. Already surpassing our record-breaking figures for 2019, he said. "The United States remains our largest market for Israel-bound tourism. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak that was in the news, we had record-breaking monthly numbers of tourists entering the country. https://www.haaretz.co.il/labels/2022-09-12/ty-article-labels/00000183-31c4-dc67-addb-79d7ffad0000 We are thrilled to see this shift and anticipate a steady upward trend for months or even years.

Canada is in the process, as the United States, to surpass its tourist arrivals into Israel. In July 2022 Canada received 7,200 visitors and August was a record 6,000.

נווה פריצקי Gal Hana is the Consul and Director for Canada within the Israel Ministry of Tourism. "We aren't far off our record 2019 and we are anticipating that the rise in travel to Israel will continue to grow because Canadians are more comfortable traveling internationally."

Israel received more than 4.6 million international tourists in 2019 and this included 969.600 coming from the United States. In May 2018, Israel opened its doors to all visitors, regardless if they are vaccination-free. Israel has already hosted more than 600,000.
