Jerusalem NEWS Jerusalem Mayor Sees 10 Million Tourists by 2020 • Nir Barkat, described as the secular mayor of the Holy City, Jerusalem, is laying out an ambitious vision of economic development for his city based on freedom of religion, equal rights for all and a massive increase in tourism. • Three and a half billion people on earth believe Jerusalem is the center of the world in many aspects and would like to come and visit Jerusalem at least once in their lifetimes. • Barkat said the city had to remain united as Israel’s capital stressing that dividing cities had never worked successfully anywhere.
