2014 broke the record for the number of American tourists who visited Israel, which is considered to be a ‘bucket-list’ or ‘must-see’ destination for many American travelers. The United States is the number one source of tourism to Israel, representing 20% of the total, with more than 602,000 Americans visiting Israel last year. An additional 87,000 tourists came from Canada and Mexico, bringing the North American total to 690,000.
