Israel has seen a rise of 38% in tourists visiting the nation during 2008.

 

In October, Israel hit a new record as 302,000 visitors arrived. In October of 2007, 250,000 visitors arrived in Israel. The previous record was set in October of 1999, when 292,000 visitors arrived.

The Tourism Ministry is confident tourism will continue to increase next year, despite the financial crisis in the United States and Europe.
