Abstract: Considering the extent of terrorism and its impact on tourism destinations and flows, Israel, by its geo-political positioning represents a major current topic. This paper highlights the consequences of political instability and terrorism on Israel tourism activities. Acknowledging these by the society and the government has led to developing strategies for tourists’ protection and security, new tactics of attracting Arab and Palestinian tourists and sustainable programs of destination. The analysis of economic performance determined by the main macroeconomic indicators and tourism flows are showing Israel as a model destination for tourism development for countries affected by political instability and terrorism.
