(NEWS) Turkey Losing Hot Israeli Summer Tourist Dollars

"A group of kippah wearing young Israelis who spoke to an INN reporter at Ben Gurion airport this past Monday told how they abruptly switched their post-high school trekking plans from a hike in the hills of Turkey to a tour of Bulgaria instead. Israelis have dropped Turkey as a hot tourist destination, and the former Middle Eastern ally is beginning to feel the pinch.

According to a report published Wednesday in Turkey's English Daily News, some 50,000 Israelis have canceled their summer reservations 'indefinitely.' The Israel Travel Agents' Association added to the figure, announcing 100,000 cancellations."
