Israel Has A Surge Of Its Own

This could be Israel's tour de force:

Summer surge lifting Israel to pre-intifada tourist numbers

Israel is on track to welcome more tourists in 2007 than in any year since the start of the second intifada. Barring the outbreak of violence or other surprises, the country should greet a total of 2.3 million tourists by the end of the year, according to figures provided last week by the Tourism Ministry. The number would be the highest annual total for any year since 2000, the busiest year in the history of Israeli tourism, when the country enjoyed the arrival of 2.41 million foreigners.

If Israel wants to avoid any 'surprises,' it had better be prepared to be more proactive.
