Israel plans to open its borders to all tourists, no matter their Covid-19 vaccination status, starting March 1
While all incoming tourists will need negative PCR test results before takeoff and after landing in Israel, this will be the first time unvaccinated visitors will be allowed into the country since March 2020.
Unvaccinated Israeli nationals will no longer have to quarantine as long as their PCR test results are negative.The decision comes after Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett held discussions with Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz on easing coronavirus restrictions. The barring of tourism since March 2020 is estimated to have cost the Israeli economy more than $7.02 billion, according to the Israeli Tourism Ministry. Israel had a record tourist turnout the year before the pandemic, with 4.55 million visitors in 2019, adding $7.2 billion to the local economy.
