Upbeat summer tourism season expected
15-6-2017
The secretary general of the syndicate of owners of hotels, Wadi’ Kanaan said he expected an improved hotel occupancy rate during the Fitr Holidays, particularly between June 26th through 31st. He pointed to a 90% to 100% rate in 4 and 5 star hotels inside Beirut, against a lower 50% to 70% outside it, anticipating a rise in hotels operating across the Lebanese regions to sustain the surplus of reservations in the capital. Kanaan confirmed that the bookings of various incoming airline flights were almost complete, noting that MEA has added some 60 flights into Lebanon, while other companies have also increased their flights, particularly those coming from the Arab Gulf countries. He drew attention to the return of Gulf tourists, namely Kuwaitis to the country. Kanaan attributed the reasons for his confidence in a promising summer to a number of things, mainly: adoption of a new electoral law and security and stability enjoyed by Lebanon, aided with the ‘Visit Lebanon’ promotional campaign launched recently by the ministry of tourism.
