BEIRUT: Reservations among various local, regional and international airline companies to Lebanon during Eid al-Fitr shot up remarkably, said Jean Abboud, head of the travel agencies owners association in statement to Al-Markazia.
“Some of the airlines have even resorted to increasing the number of their flights to Lebanon next week,” he said while expressing hopes that September would see great improvement on the touristic level.
Abboud said that most reservations are being made by Lebanese expatriates from the U.S., Australia and Europe. He added that Lebanese expatriates won’t be the only visitors in September, but Arabs and mainly Arab nationals from Bahrain, Dubai and Riyadh as well.
Abboud noted that the tourism activity this year saw a great drop compared to last year especially during the first three months of the year.
“Tourism activity reached 8 percent in July and we hope that activity improves in September to compensate for the previous months,” he said. |
