JERUSALEM, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Israel recorded 249,900 tourists arrivals in the country in July, the highest monthly record since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country in early 2020, Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics said Monday.
Israel has logged a total of 1.26 million foreign tourists since the beginning of 2022, about eight times higher than the 156,200 tourists in the January-July period last year. However, the monthly number is still behind the pre-pandemic level seen in February 2020, when some 343,800 tourists arrived in Israel.
