Number of visits to historical sites in Israel 2017-2021
In 2021, the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority recorded over 2.54 million visits to historical sites in Israel. This was an increase of over 33 percent compared to the previous year. During most of the observed period, the number of visits rose, while in 2020 the volume of visits decreased significantly. Apparently, this decline occurred due to the Israeli government's introduction of tourism and leisure restrictions following the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in March of that year.
