Good news? Talk about putting a good spin on the situation. You can always count on the Israel Ministry of Tourism to turn that frown upside down on Israel's troubled tourist industry. Tourism to Israel was up 17% in April, says Rami Levi, Tourism Ambassador of Israel to North and South America. “This news is extremely encouraging,” commented Levi, “because it comes after several months of increases. It demonstrates that the optimistic environment in the wake of the war in Iraq is not just a one-time phenomenon, but an ongoing trend. It underscores that we've turned the corner.”
If that's true, then why are all the tourist shops closing down due to lack of business?
