The Israel Ministry of Tourism (IMOT) named Taimur Mansour to the role of Consul, Director of Tourism for Canada, based in Toronto, effective August 2026.
In his new role, Mansour will direct the Ministry of Tourism’s initiatives to expand travel from the Canadian market to Israel. His mandate includes building strategic collaborations with the local travel industry, tour operators, media, and airlines, as well as managing roadshows, targeted marketing campaigns, and content projects designed to connect Canadians with the authentic Israeli experience.
Yoram Elgrabil, tourism commissioner for North America at the Israel Ministry of Tourism, said that: “Taimur brings a combination of deep cultural knowledge, global campaign experience and genuine personal connection to Israel’s story, and that combination will resonate strongly with the Canadian market.”
And Elgrabil continued: “Canada represents one of our most promising markets. Canadian travelers are among the world’s most curious and adventurous travellers, often seeking meaningful connections and authentic cultural experiences. Canada is also home to the 4th largest Jewish community in the world. We are confident Taimur’s leadership will deepen our partnerships across Canada’s travel industry and create new opportunities for Canadians to experience Israel’s history, culture and people.”
Mansour previously served as the Director of Media and Campaigns Department at the Ministry of Tourism in Jerusalem.
