What Awaits Lebanon Tourism During Eid al-Adha?

The President of the Union of Tourist Syndicates, hotel owners' representative Pierre Achkar, confirmed in a statement that "bookings on the eve of Eid al-Adha are good in Beirut and its surroundings, where tourists and expatriates are spreading across various Lebanese regions, with their stay lasting between 3 to 5 days." Achkar pointed out that "currently there are tourists in Lebanon from Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt, in addition to Lebanese expatriates and some other nationalities." He reassured that "tourism institutions have managed to overcome the challenges posed by the crisis, particularly regarding electricity and water shortages, among others," noting that tourism institutions have relied on their own capabilities to secure 24-hour electricity and all other services to be fully prepared and ready to welcome expatriates and tourists with the highest level of hospitality, despite the fact that this situation will create a fundamental challenge due to rising operational costs. Achkar emphasized that "the tourism sector, with the start of the season and amid the acute economic crisis in Lebanon, confirms its commitment to the country and its strong and effective presence, proving it has not lost its elements and capacities, and that the owners of tourism institutions remain committed and determined to continue on this path."
