your home in the suburbs."
Their view was reflected through-
out Tel Aviv. The lobby of the
Crowne Plaza Hotel on the beach-
front was abuzz with activity
sights and sounds that were missing
at the King David in Jerusalem and
Haifa's Dan Carmel. People were
walking the streets, and the restau-
rants were busy.
Michael Fox attributed the differ-
ence to Tel Aviv's position as Israel's
commercial capital. "It's not as
reliant on tourism," he said.

The Marine Park and Underwater
Observatory is on the outskirts of
Eilat, within a stone's throw of Taba,
Egypt, and just minutes from Jordan
and Saudi Arabia.
This little corner at the hot and
rocky southern tip of Israel serves as
the Florida of Europe. Just a 10-
minute drive or 40-minute glass-bot-
tomed boat ride from Eilat's
hotel/palaces, the Marine Park was
expecting a healthy increase in busi-
ness this year.
"The beginning of the year was so
good," said Marine Park's Michal
Levy, "Eilat was projecting 50 per-
cent more tourists and we predicted
10-20 percent more in the park."
Instead, the park has experienced a 62
percent decline in foreign visitors and a
20 percent decline in Israeli visitors.
Its shark tank, coral reef and yellow
submarine ride are easily accessible
for the visitors who come. Similarly,
Eilat's hotels are busy, but nowhere
near the expectations.
Rina Maor, local director for the
tourism ministry, said Eilat averages
four days of rain per year. And it's
faster to get to Eilat from New York
than it is to get from New York to
Hawaii," she added.
Good thing, too. Since it sprinkled
during our boat ride from the
Marine Park, and poured the next
morning, the odds of it raining dur-
ing your visit to•Eilat were just cut in
half. CJ
