Increasing numbers of Israelis are traveling within the country. According to Israeli Tourism Minister Binyamin Elon, Israeli domestic travel has increased by 50 percent over last year’s levels. Elon also told JTA during a visit to New York that international travel by Israelis has fallen by 50 percent in the past year. He credited the change in travel destinations to a marketing campaign launched by his ministry to encourage domestic travel.
