Pierre Achkar, head of the Lebanese Hotel Association, the Federation for Tourism Industries in Lebanon, and the National Council of Tourism in Lebanon, disclosed that the "ski industry" is presently encountering a significant issue, with the foremost challenge being the postponed skiing season in Lebanon.
"the season usually begins between Christmas and New Year's, but snow has not fallen yet in Lebanon. Consequently, ski resorts that rely on visitors remain empty until now," he pointed out.
"In addition, there are problems imposed by the war, as about 90 percent of the world's countries prohibit their citizens from coming to Lebanon due to concerns about security and military developments," Achkar stated.
He also noted that with the start of the season, ski areas will face several challenges, especially in securing heating.
"to provide a suitable atmosphere for its visitors, preparations, and heating of the place should start days in advance due to the difficult weather conditions and the significant drop in temperatures in these areas. This makes heating costs very high for them, in addition to other challenges related to electricity and water," he emphasized.
"despite the absence of tourists and the ban on travel to Lebanon, Lebanese residents can ensure a good employment rate for ski resorts. However, today's biggest problem is the lack of snow to operate these areas," Achkar concluded.
