Every month, the NTTO releases data regarding recent travel activity, including details about outbound travel from the United States. This is the most recent month for which this information is available.

One reason for the significant increase in tourism year-over-year was due to the timing of the Easter and Passover holidays. Easter fell on April 20, 2014, as opposed to March 31 the year prior. Passover in 2014 was April 14 to 22 while in 2013 it was March 25 to April 2.

Travel to both countries increased in April by a total of 25 percent year-over-year. This is significantly higher than 11-percent year-over-year increase experienced in March.

Among overseas markets, Europe captured 14 percent of outbound travel, or about 868,000 travelers, in April. The Caribbean was close behind with 12 percent of market share, or 683,000 travelers, in the same month.
