Figures released by Israel`s Central Bureau of Statistics and Ministry of Tourism show 145,200 tourists entered the country in February 2006, a 31 per cent rise over the same period in 2005.
Tourism Minister Avraham Hirchson says the goal of bringing three million tourists to the country this year is in reach. Continued efforts to open Israel`s skies and ongoing marketing abroad will contribute to the positive tourism trend and provide employment to Israelis.
In the first two months of 2006, 280,600 tourists entered the country, a rise of 24 per cent over the same period a year earlier. Increases were registered in the number of visitors arriving by air, land and sea.
