“India has always been a major source market for us. We have been welcoming thousands of Indian travelers each year. In 2023, 41,800 tourists from India visited the country and 3.1 million tourists were welcomed from around the world”.
Israel has been distinguished as a party destination and exploring new cities for Indian travelers. Amruta Bangera, Director of Marketing, Israel Ministry of Tourism (India), says that “India has always been a major source market for us. We have been welcoming thousands of Indian travelers each year. In 2023, 41,800 tourists from India visited the country and 3.1 million tourists were welcomed from around the world”.
Bangera elaborates, that Israel is the destination for bachelorette parties: “We get groups from across the world who indulge in the 24×7 city that Tel Aviv is, just like Mumbai”. However, she explains, “From the north to the south in Israel, travellers can experience snow and deserts. And Indians have an added advantage as airlines have restarted operations to the country, after they had halted services following the conflict in Gaza”.
When asked, what are the experiences Indians should not miss in Israel? She says, “Beach buffs, nightlife lovers, history enthusiasts can enjoy themselves with the host of options available. Moreover, she highlights, desert safaris are unique and none like Israel can be experienced elsewhere in the world. On similar lines, Israel is calling on Indian travellers to make memories of their journeys across Israel”.
