The Telegraph’s travel section has some interesting and surprising tourism news. While Israel is the tenth fastest growing tourist destination so far in 2017, the number one position goes to “Palestine.”

This was the opening photo in the article:

 

 

The caption reads: “This is the world’s fastest growing destination – but where is it?”

We can tell you where it is not. The Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock are located not in the world’s fastest growing destination (“Palestine” according to the Telegraph), but in Jerusalem where Israel is sovereign.

Following a request from HonestReporting, the Telegraph agreed and changed its photo to an image from Bethlehem, the most obvious tourist destination administered by the Palestinian Authority. We commend the Telegraph for its prompt action.
