The Congolese Christians at left were among the 330,000 tourists visiting Israel last month, which marked an all-time high for any October last. Tourism is up this year, with 2.3 million tourists visiting the Holy Land during the first 10 months of 2009.
Christian tourism has long been a pillar of Israel’s tourism industy, and many Israelis learned that Christian commitment to the Holy Land doesn’t waver — during the darkest years of the intifada, Christian tourists continued coming when most other tour groups abandoned the Holy Land.
