German carrier Lufthansa today announced that it is increasing the frequency of its flights to and from Israel starting from October. The airline will offer 13 weekly flights to Munich and 23 weekly flights to Frankfurt - in total 36 weekly flights instead of the current 31.

Cathay Pacific: Tel Aviv route exceeds our expectations (Globes, English)
They have increased frequency on the HKG-TLV route and are happy with it. They see an increase of Chinese tourists to Israel and more potential for growth in Israel. Also doesn't see a move anytime soon towards the LCC model.
Also told Israeli hotels to NOT offer Chinese food when wooing Chinese tourists!

Based on that observation, I actually would've expected Chinese food to be a pull...

He says so in the article.
The Ministry of Tourism has indeed set a goal of increasing the volume of Chinese tourists in Israel, and hotels are making preparations with food, booklets, and instructions in Chinese.
"My tip is that where people from Hong Kong are concerned, don't offer them Chinese food. We want to experience your local food. You don't have to make an effort; simply be yourselves. Be sociable, like you are. That's what we're looking for."
