Minister of Tourism, Walid Nassar, visited the Chouf region, to inaugurate the new office of the Ministry of Tourism in Beiteddine, at the invitation of the Farid Al-Bustani Foundation.

Nassar began his tour from the residence of MP Farid Al-Bustani in Deir Al-Qamar, and thanked him for his initiative “to open the office in partnership with the ministry to enhance cooperation between the public and private sectors and encourage the tourism sector in the Chouf district.”

During his tour in the Chouf, the minister stressed that despite the sensitive and difficult conditions Lebanon is going through, there is a determination to strengthen the reality of the tourism sector, which is the main supporter of the country’s economy, and this determination will not diminish, but will increase more every day.

He announced that the Ministry of Tourism will launch the first tourism conference for the districts of Chouf and Aley and the rest of the districts, as happened in Jbeil and Batroun.

Nassar called on the country’s politicians to maintain stability and calm in the country, as there is no tourism without security and stability, especially since Lebanon is approaching a hot tourist summer, stressing that flights from expatriates and foreign tourists are fully booked.

“Lebanon will regain its name, position and image in the world despite all circumstances, and the visit of His Holiness the Pope on June 12 and 13 will be a very important message about Lebanon,” the minister concluded.
