Headlines from Jerusalem: Bah humbug! Israel deals another blow to tourism - Ep. 3
In this episode I speak with travel industry experts about the latest restrictions and their impact on Holy Land tourism
With fears of the Omicron variant overtaking Israel, the government decided last week to extend its current border closure to all foreigners for another 10 days which would end to Dec. 22. In addition, there is now a three-day quarantine in place for vaccinated travelers which would bring us to Christmas day.
In this episode, I spoke with two experts in the travel industry about these latest restrictions and how they are going to impact Holy Land tourism:
