Lebanon's brief summer tourist season
Summer 2026 in Lebanon was a delayed and weak tourist season, starting after a period of postponement caused by security tensions and the war. It faced a sharp decline in tourism activity despite a temporary boost in visitor numbers in 2025. The ongoing war ultimately led to the cancellation of approximately 50% of bookings and a shortening of the tourism season, resulting in significant economic losses including a decrease in income for tourism-related businesses and a reduction in domestic spending. Moreover, diminished confidence and security concerns greatly impacted travel decisions, leading to billions of dollars in lost revenue and projections of a 6.4% economic contraction in 2026.
