The skies are open, many Israelis book vacations despite the level of morbidity in the world and vaccinated return to Israel without the need for full isolation, except for a few hours, until they receive an answer to a test conducted after landing in Israel.

We checked with the tourism companies how noticeable the increase in bookings is and which destinations are the favorites among Israeli tourists.

Eshet Tours also reports an increase of tens of percent compared to last week, with the hottest destinations being the United Arab Emirates, Georgia, Turkey, Lapland and Western European destinations.

Eshet Tours emphasizes that the increase in demand is due to several reasons, including the cancellation of the list of red countries, the increase in morbidity in Israel and the strengthening of the shekel against foreign currencies.

Also on the flying carpet, the increase in demand reaches about 30%, with the most sought-after destination among Israeli tourists applying to the company being Dubai.

Here, too, the depression in the dollar exchange rate and the opening of the sky are emphasized, which are a significant factor in the dramatic increase in the number of orders.
