The online campaign, features a 45 second brand campaign introducing the destination in English and Hebrew, will run from until May 8th, on platforms including Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, among others.
The promotional push builds upon the inauguration of the historic Etihad Airways twice-weekly flight between Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv which took place on April 6th.
Analysts and industry executives are expecting around 1.25 million tourists to travel between the two cities for tourism and business and 500,000 Israelis expected to travel for tourism and leisure during the initial stages.
