While evacuees return home, tourists flock back, and locals leave town, Israel’s hospitality industry is facing some changing trends.<\/p>\n

While tourists<\/a> are increasingly flocking to Israel, Israelis continue booking their flights abroad, new data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics<\/a> (CBS) on Monday showed.<\/p>\n

According to the data, the first nine months of this year saw 15.8 million hotel overnight stays, down from 17.7 million visiting during the same period last year.<\/p>\n

However, while overnight stays by Israelis (including evacuees) dropped by about 15% to 13.8 million, tourist stays rose sharply from 1.5 million in January to September 2024 to 2.1 million this year, an increase of nearly 40%.<\/p>\n

The CBS\u2019s report noted that in the past three months there was an average monthly increase of about 5% in tourist overnight stays, compared to 3.9% in previous months. Overall hotel occupancy stood at 53%, although certain areas, such asEilat<\/a> and the Dead Sea<\/a>, showed impressive recovery, having occupancy rates of 82% and 55% respectively.<\/p>\n

Israelis leave hotels<\/h3>\n

The main reasons for the decline in hotel stays by Israelis is that tens of thousands of evacuees returned home this year, some after having spent more than a year in hotels, and also a sharp rise in travel abroad.<\/p>\n
