The annual report released by the Central Bureau of Statistics said the revenue of tourist hotels amounted to $2.5 billion last year, compared to $1.25 billion in 2020, Xinhua news agency reported.

The leap in revenue came after a 65 per cent drop recorded in 2020, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

A significant increase in hotel revenue began in the second quarter of 2021, with the gradual exit from a nationwide Covid-19 lockdown in Israel, and reached more than $1 billion in the third quarter.
