Israel Tourism Commissioner, North & South America
Four stars of the FOX TV dramaHouse toured Israel last week as guests of America's Voices for Israel, a joint project of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Israel Ministry of Tourism, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and EL AL Israel Airlines. The cast, including actors Lisa Edelstein, Amber Tamblyn, Omar Epps and Jesse Spencer, as well as Executive Producer David Shore, celebrated Independence Day in Tel Aviv, and made visits to the Galilee, the Dead Sea and Masada and completed their tour in Jerusalem.
Masada climbed above the Biblical Zoo and the Ramat Gan Safari Park to become the most visited pay-to-enter tourist site in Israel in 2010, according to Dun & Bradstreet Israel. Approximately 762,992 travelers visited Masada last year, compared with 718,902 visitors at Jerusalem's Biblical Zoo, which fell to second place. The third most visited pay-to-enter tourist site was the Caesarea Antiquities National Park with 698,808 visitors.
