Another step towards normalization in the tourism industry:

this time it is a deadline for the entry of foreign and vaccinated tourists into Israel - May 23, 2021 - set today (Tuesday) by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Tourism.



The Minister of Tourism, Orit Farkash HaCohen, and the Minister of Health, Yuli Edelstein, reached an agreement on the layout of the opening and entry of vaccinated tourists from foreign countries in groups.

The gates of Israel will open in the first phase for the entry of vaccinated foreign tourists in groups, as they will be easier to monitor and drive.



The summaries follow a joint working team between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Tourism, in which the head of the public health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, and the corona projector, Prof. Nachman Ash, participated and with the participation of the professional bodies.

"Preliminary line for industry"

According to the summary, the groups will start arriving from May 23 this year according to a quota set, and depending on the results of the first phase, the possibility of expansion will also be examined for non-group tourists, as long as the morbidity continues in the current trend.



Tourists will be required to undergo a PCR test before boarding, and a PCR and serology test to prove the vaccine or recovery, upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport. .



health Minister Yuli Edelstein: "Israel is the first country is immune, and the first citizens of Israel enjoy it.

Once we have opened up the economy, it is time to carefully and thoughtfully facilitate tourism.

The opening of tourism is an important line for one of the industries that was particularly damaged in the Corona year.

We will continue to examine the relief at all times in accordance with the morbidity data. "



Tourism Minister Orit Farkash HaCohen:" I am happy to give this preliminary line to the industry.

The time has come for Israel to have the advantage of being a safe and healthy country, to help rehabilitate the Israeli economy and the tourism industry and not other economies.

Only the opening of the incoming international tourism will really succeed in bringing back the industry of tourism, restaurants, hospitality, sites, guides, commuters and many more who can return and earn a decent living.

I will continue to push for a full return of inbound tourism to Israel, which will greatly assist the Israeli economy and provide jobs that are so much needed by many Israelis today. "
