How do tourists spend their money in Israel? Mastercard has published a comprehensive report that dissected incoming tourist expenditures over the past year and has revealed interesting and sometimes surprising revelations. For example, Dutch tourists put out about 10 percent of their spending here on bicycle rentals. The data also shows that November is the most visited month to the country, contrary to popular belief. Chen Tamir, the public sector lead for Mastercard in Israel, told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that over half the visitors to Israel come from Europe and a third from the United States.
