1. As long as the Russians don't vacation in Turkey
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.29.15)
it's all good. Putin will make sure not one ruble is spent with these back woods terrorists hill billies. Israel doesn't need more Russian tourists in comparison to Turkey Israeli's are rich. MORE BUILDING !!!
2. And I don't understand how + why need to
barbara ,   Haifa   (11.29.15)
travel all the time? My last trip / vacation was in 2005. It sickens me to see how much indulgence people are giving themselves, lately. And then, also complain they don't have enough money to survive.
3. We do not need them here.The ones living
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv / israel   (11.29.15)
here with false documents can also go back to Russia as far as I care.
4. Russian Tourists
TOMER ,   IL   (11.29.15)
Yes, most Russian tourists will not be able to pay the extreme rip off prices charged by Israeli hotels. Inoperative a/c, broken fridges, dirty linen, torn carpets, congested dining rooms, small pools, limited pool access & zillion other issues - all delivered by so-called "5 star" hotels. The only thing that is genuinely 5 star are the prices.
5. All things considered
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.29.15)
Russians are being murdered in every single Arab country that they vacation in for the crime of not being a Muslim. Israel is their only warm safe place to vacation. But as long as Turkey is harmed - it's all to the good.

What you have written is nonsense Israel I 5 star hotels are excellent. I have stayed in the Hiltons The Jerusalem plaza and other establishments not 5 star. Like. On. Moshave Neve Ilan. Expensive yes but of good standard
7. Well, how do Russians rate as touristas?
Cameron ,   USA   (11.29.15)
I've heard over the years that the Chinese variety play cheap and obnoxious to an exceeding degree when on the road. The Slavic crew handle themselves any better?
8. Israeli Resorts
Adam H ,   US   (11.29.15)
Israel has many interesting areas and good climate for Russians to visit, in particular the Dead Sea, Eilat and the Mediterranean. But I agree with Tomer, the resorts are overpriced, the staff indifferent often bordering on rude, and the facilities are not maintained. I also noticed the pool hours too restrictive. They need to set up hospitality schools for hotel staff.

Dennis ,   Nj usa   (12.01.15)
beg to differ with you. Stayed at the JP two years ago, and it was very disappointing. And I worked there a bit at the start of my hotel career in the late 70's, when it was a true five star. Now, MAYBE a four, or a 3.5... And the mid Summer occupancy showed it. It was a ghost town...stayed thst same trip in another property of the same chain, in TA. also major disappointment, with sewage smells in the hallway, mediocre room, terrible staff at the Desk, but,...great breakfast. Again, 3 stars masquerading as 5
10. Drink,eat,sun
John   (12.01.15)
Russians with not so much money want:Free Alcohol,free eating and Sun! In a report Russians sayed they eat 3 months before the holiday not so much because its free in the holiday...
11. True the service is shite
Helix   (12.02.15)
Unpleasant and unprofessional
12. ISRAELS HOTELS
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (12.02.15)
TOMER NO 4 I SUGGEST YOU GO TO IRAN OR IRAQ FOR YOUR HOLIDAYS. THEY NEED THE MONEY JUST LIKE TURKEY AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOME OF THE BOUTIQUE HOTELS IN ISRAEL, I SUGGEST THE SHALOM HOTEL ON HAYARKON STREET. GREAT HOTEL VERY GOOD SERVICE AND THE STAFF CANT DO ENOUGH FOR YOU. SHALOM DANNY TAWIL
13. TO NO 11 HELIX
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (12.02.15)
HELIX SHUT YOUR MOUTH UP.
14. instead of asking for handouts, hoteliers should make change
Israela ,   Israel   (12.02.15)
really how difficult is it to put together an all inclusive hotel? Is it because the money-hungry hoteliers are used to overcharging us for nothing? After all why work to please your guests when you can weasel their money right out of their pockets. I live in Israel, I don't vacation here because it is cheaper to fly elsewhere, rent a car, stay at a 5 star hotel, and eat very well indeed for 1/2 of the price that it costs to do the same in Israel.
15. TO NO 14.
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (12.04.15)
