Comment

Israel has a priceless "natural resource" - tourism. Tourism is the country's largest export. Income from tourism is higher than that from export of citrus fruits and even diamonds. The importance of tourism extends far beyond its economic benefits: Jewish tourism serves as a "living bridge" between Israel and the Diaspora, and creates links with the entire world. Tourism also plays an important role in diffusion of information and encourages aliya. Tourism development is a stimulus for national development of coastal areas, nature reserves, historic sites, and holy places. Development for incoming tourism enriches domestic tourism as well. The entire population enjoys the fruits of tourism: income, employment, and improvements in infrastructure.
