This represents a 4% increase over 2019 and 71,000 tourists from the United States in august 2022. This is 13% higher than in the year 2019.

“It is so exciting to see yet another increase in tourist numbers to Israel from the United States, already reaching and exceeding our record-breaking numbers for the year 2019” stated Eyal Carlin, Tourism Commissioner for North America. “The United States has been the most important market for Israel’s tourism inbound. Before the COVID-19 outbreak we had been celebrating record-breaking figures of the number of tourists entering Israel each month.

Canada, which has 7,200 visitors in July 2022 and 6,000 tourists in August, isn’t far behind the United States.

Gal Hana is the Consul and Director for Canada within the Israel Ministry of Tourism. We are still not far away from our record 2019 numbers and we expect that this increase in Israel travel will continue to grow as Canadians find it easier to travel abroad.”

Israel has welcomed more than 4.6 million tourists in the year of 2019. 969,600 were of the United States. The country’s officially reopening to travelers in May was a success, with more than 600,000.
