Globes: Tourism in “Israel” plummets by 30%

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, May 29 (YPA) – The Israeli tourism sector has recorded a 30% decline compared to 2024, largely due to the ongoing airspace restrictions imposed by Yemen, the Israeli newspaper Globes reported.

According to Globes, “The tourism sector has seen a 30% drop in transaction volume compared to 2024.”

The decline in tourism stems largely from the near-total cessation of air traffic to and from “Israel”, as many international airlines suspend flights amid growing tensions.

Nadav Lahmani, CEO of Control at Phoenix Gamm was quoted as saying: “The tourism and travel industry has faced complex challenges over the past three weeks.”

This slump follows an announcement by the Yemeni authorities in Sana’a of a no-fly zone targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, prompting numerous international airlines to suspend flights to and from the country.
