Expat Return and Tourism Revival
Beirut Airport is currently experiencing a continued increase in air traffic, with a significant return of Lebanese expatriates abroad. Since the beginning of the month, it has welcomed around 275,000 arrivals compared to 157,000 departures, reflecting a positive sign of the early recovery of the tourism movement. However, the accumulated crises since 2019, including the financial collapse and the Beirut explosion, continue to impact the hotel and restaurant sectors, and tourist confidence remains unstable. The success of this tourist season depends on restoring security and political stability, as the sector heavily relies on the return of expatriates and the trust of foreign visitors, especially from the Gulf. Additionally, reviving major cultural events is crucial to attracting more tourists and boosting economic recovery.
