Israel reopens for tourism and ensures complete safety in all tourist areas

Israel announced on Thursday that it is officially accepting tourists, which is a huge development. Travel to Israel has been prohibited in recent months due to the ongoing dispute.

Airlines temporarily stopped flights to Tel Aviv, but they are gradually resuming now. Starting on May 16, Air India will resume nonstop flights between Delhi and Tel Aviv five times a week.

Pini Shani, the head of marketing administration and deputy director-general for Israel Tourism, reflected on recent events, particularly those in the Gaza region on October 7, 2023. He was upbeat about Israel's tourism industry's comeback and mentioned that Ben Gurion Airport was now fully functional. Popular cities in Israel are bustling with activity day and night, attracting tens of thousands of visitors who come to explore, worship, support, and admire the beauty of the region. Shani mentioned that the public's desire to start travelling is growing due to the current increase in visitors.

Israel prioritizes security, making it their top concern. Shani assures prospective tourists that popular destinations like Jerusalem, Galilee, Tiberias, the Negev, the Dead Sea, and Eilat are completely secure. He invited visitors to participate in showing how the travel and tourism sector promotes peace by bringing people together.

Amruta Bangera, the marketing director for Israel Tourism in India, invited tourists to explore the nation's colorful landscapes and rich cultural legacy. Israel welcomes tourists to see its beauty, history, and friendliness, despite recent difficulties.

Due to the unstable circumstances in the area, Air India flights have been suspended and resumed several times before now. After the attack on October 7, 2023, flights were first halted. They were then reinstated on March 3, but the Iran-Israel dispute caused them to be canceled once more on April 14.

Israel's decision to welcome tourists is a positive step towards the recovery from recent difficulties. It represents a resurgence of positivity in the travel and tourism sectors. Tourists continue to be attracted to Israel's historic sites, lively towns, and beautiful scenery, benefiting the country's economy and promoting global understanding and peace.
