Live Lebanon- UNDP organized a public event last week in collaboration with the Municipality of Bsharreh and the Bank of Beirut and the Arab Countries (BBAC) to inaugurate its new tourist project located in the town. The project goodwill ambassador, Fadi Salameh, noted in his keynote address that the project will benefit all residents in Bsharreh and will boost tourism through its support to ecotourism, religious, cultural and sports activities, whilst creating more than 10 new permanent jobs. The UNDP resident representative, Luca Renda also noted that Live Lebanon projects are implemented through financial support provided by Lebanese immigrants who seek to contribute to local social developments in the country. These contributions have also allowed for the refurbishment of the traditional market in the won which will in turn increase the income of local population, will improve living conditions and encourage tourism.
