Some 30,000 Swiss visited Israel during 1982, according to the Israel tourist office in Zurich. This number represents a six percent decline in the number of tourists compared to 1981. To induce more tourism, Israel will soon start a weekly charter flight from Zurich to Eilat, the Israel tourist office announced.
