The campaign will focus heavily on Israel’s rapid Covid-19 vaccination programme and its stringent new Covid health and safety protocols, as well as the Red Sea resort of Eilat where the country will incentivise airlines to fly.


The country plans to reopen to groups of vaccinated tourists from the end of May, and to all vaccinated travellers in July.


"Israel today is a world leader in safety and health, and we will make sure every potential tourist knows this when planning their summer or winter vacation," said Israeli tourism minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen on Tuesday (27 April).


“We cannot miss this opportunity – and, as minister of tourism, I won’t."
