Israelis Tour Switzerland

TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Despite the
red-tape and other obstacles
placed in the way of Israelis ap-
plying for visas to Switzerland,
the number of Israeli tourists to
that country increases from year
to year.
Thus, in 1963 Israeli tourists
who visited Switzerland totaled
44,000; in 1964 the number rose
to 47,000; in 1965-51,000; and in
1966, a year marked by acute
economic. crisis, the number
climbed to 53,000.
Swiss tourists visiting, in Israel
comprise a much smaller number.
In 1959, Swiss tourists in Israel
totaled 3,000; in 1960, 4,500; in
1964, 7,300; in 1965, 9,300; and in
1966, approximately 10,000, less
than one-fifth the rate of Israeli
tourists.
