Some use this Rambam to forbid vacation outside of Israel for those who live there (e.g., see R Shlomo Aviner at the very bottom of [here][1]). Others are well aware of this Rambam but qualify it, e.g., > R [Shmuel Halevi Wosner][2] (Shut Shevet Halevi 5:173, cited bottom of > [here][3]) writes that the primary prohibition of leaving the Land > applies only when one intends to establish his residence outside of > Eretz Yisrael, but leaving temporarily is more lenient. Yet, he > qualifies this leniency and writes that there must be some sort of > concrete need for the person to leave. > > Accordingly, it would be prohibited to leave Eretz Yisroel for a > vacation if the trip does not serve a constructive purpose. It would > be permitted if it serves a constructive purpose such as seeing the > wonders and beautiful parts of Hashem’s creation, resting (when this > cannot be easily achieved in Israel), and so on.
