ТУРИЗМ В ИЗРАИЛЕ

Как подтверждает статистика, Израиль является одним из са­мых притягательных туристических направлений. С учетом меня­ющейся политической обстановки и предпринимаемых маркетин­говых мер турбизнес страны продолжает развиваться, ищет новые формы и направления работы. Прежде всего, это перераспределе­ние турпотока в сторону внутреннего рынка. Осенью 2002 г. была разработана совместная программа активизации туристских пото­ков из России, ряда стран Европы и Америки. Изменилась и гео­графия турпотока. Почти половина его теперь приходится на Эй- лат (Eilat) и частично на Мертвое море.

Турфирмы, специализирующиеся на израильском направле­нии, стали использовать гибкую ценовую политику. В частности, индивидуальные туры предлагаются по цене групповых. По при-

Английский язык для турбизнеса и сервиса

бытии на место туристы, в зависимости от целей поездки, форми­руются в группы по отдыху, экскурсионным программам и другим видам туризма. Многие турфирмы предлагают возможность совме­щения туров с посещением родственников и знакомых. По данным Министерства туризма Израиля, около 70 % туристов, побывавших в стране, — это повторные посетители.

Программы российских туроператоров по Израилю отличают­ся разнообразием предложений. Наша компания предоставляет клиентам 20 вариантов экскурсионных туров. В том числе эконом­ный тур «В этом году в Иерусалиме» (8 дней/7 ночей от $234 + авиаперелет), еженедельный тур «Знакомьтесь — Израиль» (8 дней/ 7 ночей от $599, включая авиаперелет).

Выделяют три вида предпочтений туристов, посещающих Из­раиль: на экскурсионный туризм приходится 50—60 %, лечебно- оздоровительный туризм — 25 и отдых (в основном в Эйлате) — 25 %. От 20 до 30 % предпочитают смешанные туры.

Среди основных тенденций развития туризма в Израиле наблю­даются: увеличение популярности туров по деловому туризму, эк­скурсионных туров «Путешествие к четырем морям» (по програм­ме «все включено») и туров для паломников различных конфессий.
