Israel Trains Chefs to Cater to Rising Number of Chinese Tourists

Keren Setton reports for Xinhua-China that the Israel Tourism Ministry has organized several master classes for 400 Israeli chefs at cooking and hotel schools in Israel to meet the demand resulting from the growing influx of Chinese tourists to the Jewish state.

“Israeli food is very different from what they are used to,” said Efrat Meir-Groman, director of vocational training in tourism at the ministry.

In 2017, 113,600 Chinese tourists visited Israel. Next month, there will be a further increase in direct weekly flights between China and Israel.
