The summer of 2012 is turning out to be a record-breaking one for Israel’s tourism industry, according to new statistics.
In July, the nation welcomed some 296,000 visitors, 8% more than in the same month last year and 6% more than in July 2010.
The Central Bureau of Statistics also announced that 2m travellers have visited Israel since the beginning of the year.
