Tourism Ministry welcomes return of vaccinated tourists to Israel

The Tourism Ministry releases a statement welcoming foreigners back to Israel, a day ahead of a change that will allow vaccinated or recovered tourists to enter the country.

“Throughout the global corona pandemic, interest in visiting Israel has remained high and Israel’s Ministry of Tourism has worked hard to find creative solutions to facilitate the safe return of tourists,” the statement says.

“A pilot program allowing groups to enter Israel has been successful, with several thousand tourists, primarily from the USA and Europe, visiting Israel’s religious, historical, cultural and natural sites within a safe and tourist-friendly environment,” it adds.

“Once again, tourists from around the world can make their reservations and enjoy the unique, varied and safe tourism products that Israel has to offer.”
