Lahoud Highlights Damage to Resorts and Infrastructure
The Israeli aggression against southern Lebanon continues, leading to the destruction of hundreds of resorts, hotels, and tourist facilities, and the elimination of the region's tourism infrastructure. Heritage sites and various facilities along the coast and in the mountains, including Naqoura and Biyadah, have been targeted, resulting in significant losses to the tourism sector and the destruction of infrastructure. Precise statistics are unavailable due to ongoing operations and other reasons. Estimates indicate that the total economic damages have exceeded $10 billion, with approximately 65% of the facilities existing before 2023 and 50% damaged or destroyed during this year. The Minister of Tourism emphasized that the solution lies in negotiations and halting the war, noting that restoring the sector will take years.
