Front cover Israel is enjoying an unprecedented tourism boom. More visitors came to Israel in 2018 than ever before, and 2019 is expected to break the 2018 record! What’s happening and why? Simply stated, Israel is happening. It’s a proud, high-tech, culturally advanced and extraordinarily successful Israel that more and more travelers of every faith, hue, interest and orientation want to discover. Of course, there’s the traditional Israel – the 4,000-year-old holy and historic Promised Land, the homeland reborn 71 years ago, the land that is home to 8 million Israelis who love America and Americans. But there’s more. Throughout Israel, phenomenal new and luxurious hotels are opening, at the same time as Israel’s wealth of more historic properties are undergoing dramatic facelifts. Israel has become a new star in the world’s culinary scene – with gorgeous restaurants offering an old-new fusion cuisine that international food and wine critics are applauding. And Isram-Israel is part of that surge in 21st-century tourism – the acknowledged leader and trendsetter in American tourism to Israel. As Israel becomes increasingly in demand, more and more tours, trips and opportunities are available, so ensuring you select the right provider is vital. With so many offers out there – it’s hard to know what’s what and whom to trust with your epic vacation plans. Here’s the lowdown…Isram-Israel knows Israel better than anyone else – and knows what Americans want better than anyone else. Because of our buying power we can obtain the room you want when others can’t, even at the height of the season. We never cram our motor-coaches – invariably leaving plenty of room to enable guests to spread out. Whether you’re taking a motor-coach tour or a private customized trip, you need a provider that knows not just the sites, but what makes Israel’s growth, culture and dynamism so exceptional. And we insist our staff and expert guides are up to date with everything that’s newest and hottest. For decades we’ve specialized in ensuring our guests’ visits are innovative, smooth, efficient, wondrous, breathtaking and inspiring. Israel in 2019 awaits you. And so does Isram Israel.
