Travel and tourism in Israel - statistics & facts
In 2021, the number of foreign tourists visiting Israel amounted to 396.5 thousand, a significant decrease compared to the previous year. In 2020 and 2021, the volume of international tourism in Israel has declined remarkably. This was due to tighter restrictions imposed on the country's tourism industry following the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in March 2020. However, the Israeli authorities lifted most of the restrictions in 2022. According to estimates, the number of international tourist arrivals will gradually increase in the coming years to 5.68 million in 2025.
