Even Israel�s Ministry of Tourism agrees that Yerushalayim is number one among tourists and the capital�s sites are a major tourist attraction.

According to the ministry, 75% of visitors to the capital will visit attractions in the Holy City, with the Kosel leading the list (64%), followed by the Rova (Jewish Quarter (54%), and then Har HaZeisim (Mount of Olives) 38%.

The study was commissioned to assist in a new project, a volunteer unit of elderly participants committed to preserving the city�s tourist sites, their cleanliness, security, accessibility to the disabled and other pertinent details that that might contribute to their future integrity and success.
