Hotels in Israel still struggling to recover: What's happening in Eilat and the North?

The hotel industry in Israel continues to face a slow recovery: an increase in tourist overnight stays but a decrease in Israeli overnight stays compared to last year. Eilat leads in occupancy, Tiberias at the bottom. The supply of rooms has grown but demand is uneven amid security operations.

The hotel industry in Israel continues to struggle with recovery, against the backdrop of the war's effects and security operations. New data paint a mixed picture: the number of tourist overnight stays rose compared to the same period last year, but among Israelis there was a decline in overnight stays. National room occupancy increased in September compared to September last year, but significant gaps exist between regions. Eilat recorded the highest occupancy, followed by Haifa and the Dead Sea. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem lag behind, while Tiberias recorded the lowest occupancy. The article notes that the supply of rooms has grown compared to last year, making it harder for hotels to fill rooms during a period of uneven demand. Security operations, including Operation 'With a Lion' and flight cancellations, have hurt tourist traffic and Israeli vacations.
