NEW YORK – The Israel Ministry of Tourism has appointed Eyal Carlin as the new Tourism Commissioner for North America.

“I’m excited to be in New York working with the incredible team to promote Israel and all this beautiful country has to offer for travelers here in the United States and Canada,” said Carlin. “Israel has such a diverse landscape that lends itself to travelers of all types – whether they are looking to visit the holy sites, an adventure in the South, a wine trip in the North, and so much more. I look forward to sharing my passion and continuing my work in inspiring people to choose Israel for their next vacation.”
