This study focused on identifying the visitors’ profile of two Palestinian cities, namely, Nablus and Ramallah, and investigating the biographical characteristics of visitors and their motives for visiting the two Palestinian cities. Moreover, this research adopted a quantitative methodology using questionnaires as study instrument. A total of 202 tourists participated in this research, comprising foreign and Arab tourists, who had been targeted through English and Arabic questionnaires, respectively. Major findings revealed that the majority of the tourists visiting both Palestinian cities during the study period were from European countries, relatively young (with age range of 25–34 years) and had visited the two cities for meetings, incentives, conferences and events purposes. Therefore, political stability in Palestinian areas was recommended to increase and encourage tourists to visit the State of Palestine. Profound implications for Palestinian authorities were also provided to enhance effort in encouraging visitors and allow diversity in Palestinian services.
