"It is thrilling to see yet another rise in the number of tourists visiting Israel from the United States, already reaching the record-breaking levels for the year 2019" said Eyal Carlin, Tourism Commissioner for North America. "The United States remains our biggest market for tourism to Israel. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak that was in the news, we had record-breaking tourism numbers each month. We are delighted to witness this change and expect a steady upward trend for months and even years.

נווה פריצקי Canada which isn't too far behind that of the United States of America, is set to beat the tourist numbers to Israel. It reached 7,200 visitors in July 2022 and 6,000 in August.

We're not too away from our record-setting numbers in 2019, and we are hoping that this growth in Israel travel will continue to grow as Canadians find it easier to travel abroad."
