Tourism Minister Stas Miseznikov greeted this year’s 3,000,001st tourist in a festive ceremony at the foot of the plane at Ben Gurion International Airport, on Monday.
The lucky visitor, Pastor Ribamar Araujo Ladislau, who arrived on an El Al flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil, leading a group of 120 evangelical pilgrims, received an honorary plaque, a Chanukiah and a gift certificate for a week-long all expenses paid trip to Israel on his next visit."
