2013 NEW ALL-TIME HIGH - TOURISM TO ISRAEL

PRESS RELEASE                IT'S OFFICIAL:  2013 SETS NEW ALL-TIME HIGH  FOR TOURISM TO ISRAEL   New York - January 16, 2014: 3.54 million visitors from around the world arrived in Israel in 2013, a new all-time high in travel to Israel, says Haim Gutin, Israel Commissioner for Tourism, North and South America. The U.S. is the number one source of tourism to Israel (20% of tourists to Israel come from North America), followed by Russia, France, Germany and the U.K. "It is an unheard of phenomenon that any country's largest and highest-spending source of tourism comes from 6,000+ miles away," observed Gutin, "which underscores the importance of the work we do in North America." The month of December 2013 also set a new record high, with the arrival of 24% more tourists (visitors who stayed more than one night) than in 2012. Cruise travel to Israel also increased in 2013 with the arrival of a record 257,000 cruise visitors. The Israel Ministry of Tourism estimates that 53% of all incoming travelers identify as "Christian" and 28% as "Jewish." The Ministry also estimates that the sites most visited by tourists to Israel are Jerusalem's Western Wall (68%) and Jewish Quarter (64%), the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (57%), the Via Dolorosa (55%) and the Mount of Olives (53%).

Special Feast offering:

The Lord commanded the people of Israel to bring their offerings to Jerusalem during the Feast of Tabernacles (Deut. 16). Therefore, many pilgrims bring a special offering from their church or family to the Feast. While we can support Israel anytime throughout the year, this is a special opportunity to prophetically join all the nations gathered in Jerusalem and make a special offering before the Lord.

"TEDDY PARK" BOASTING MULTIMEDIA WATER FOUNTAIN - Jerusalem

PRESS RELEASE

NEW "TEDDY PARK" BOASTING MULTIMEDIA WATER FOUNTAIN TO OPEN IN JERUSALEM

THIS SUMMER



New York - May 16, 2013: Named after former Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, the new "Teddy Park" will open this summer in Mitchell Park beneath the Old City walls near Jerusalem's Jaffa Gate.

Teddy Park commemorates the life and vision of Jerusalem's legendary Mayor Teddy Kollek, who, during his tenure from 1965 to 1993, spearheaded dozens of development projects in Jerusalem including the creation of outdoor public spaces, the installation of outdoor sculptures and the smooth reunification of the city in 1967.

The focal point of Teddy Park is the Hassenfeld Family Fountain, a colorful display featuring computerized floodlit water performances accompanied by specially composed music created by the New Jerusalem Orchestra. The multimedia fountain will feature nightly sound, light and water performances, free of charge.

Teddy Park will also include a visitor's center with a 3D film depicting the development of Jerusalem during Kollek's nearly three-decade tenure as mayor; a sun dial designed by Israeli artist Maty Grunberg; an eight-foot globe sculpture designed by British artist David Breur-Weil; a family wishing-well made of Jerusalem stone; and environmental sculptures.

"We are thrilled to unveil this innovative new park in my hometown of Jerusalem," said Haim Gutin, Israel Commissioner for Tourism, North and South America. "Teddy Park will serve as an exciting new attraction for both residents and visitors to Jerusalem."

Teddy Park is an initiative of the Israel Ministry of Tourism in conjunction with the Jerusalem Municipality and the Jerusalem Foundation's private donors from around the world.
