Lebanese Tourism at All Time High

Beirut...

It’s known as the “Paris of the Middle East” and is often boasted as the only place where you can lay on the beach and ski down a mountaintop in the same day.

This geographical treasure is none other than Lebanon—a home away from home for millions of Lebanese natives, and in recent years, an alluring destination spot for travelers from all over the world.

In the last ten years, Lebanon has developed into a beacon of tourism, with the decade’s culminating years demonstrating an economic growth never before seen.

Recently released reports state that in 2009, the number of tourists traveling to Lebanon rose by 39 percent, which is clocked as one of the highest rates of industry expansion in the world. Not to mention that the year marked a nine percent economic growth and hosted the largest number of tourists in its history.
