Akā ke hoʻolālā nei ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i nā lā hoʻomaha kauwela, nui ka poʻe i hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo ka lawa ʻole o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o Lebanona e kaupalena ana i ka hiki o ka ʻāina ke hoʻokipa i nā mākaʻikaʻi waena.

"Inā ʻoe e nānā i nā makahiki ʻelua i hala iho nei, ua ulu nui ʻoe. Ua ʻike ka ʻoihana e pono lākou e kālele i ka mākaʻikaʻi maikaʻi, "wahi a ka mea loiloi ʻo Amir Girgis, he loea me ka London-based World Travel & Tourism Council.

Akā ʻo ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi "ʻoi aku ka ʻike kālā" ma hope o ka pilikia kālā o ka honua. ʻO ka hopena, wahi a Girgis, e loli ana ka manaʻo o ka mākaʻikaʻi maikaʻi "no ka mea inā pili ʻoe i kēlā ʻano hana, e nalowale paha ʻoe."

ʻO ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o Lebanona, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka Middle East, ua hoʻoikaika ʻo ia i kāna mau hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka huki ʻana i nā huakaʻi hele kiʻekiʻe, ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hōkele nani no ka poʻe waiwai - ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou he poʻe mākaʻikaʻi Gulf.

ʻO nā hale hoʻokipa maikaʻi no ka hapa nui o nā hōkele 300 o ka ʻāina. Akā hoʻopaʻapaʻa kekahi poʻe ʻaʻole lawa ka ʻoihana i nā pono o ka huakaʻi frugal.

ʻO Talal, kahi hale hoʻokipa kokoke i ke awa o Beirut, e hāʻawi i kahi hihia. Ua "aneane i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ke kula mai kona wehe ʻana i ʻeiwa mau makahiki i hala," wahi a Wissam Aboultaif, kekahi o nā luna.

ʻO Wild Discovery, kahi alakaʻi alakaʻi huakaʻi a me nā mea hoʻokele mākaʻikaʻi ma Beirut a pili pū me Johnny R. Saade Holdings, ʻo ia kekahi o nā hui Lebanona i kākoʻo e hoʻonui ʻia ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā hōkele hōkū ʻekolu a me nā hale hoʻokipa kūloko a puni ka ʻāina.

"Ua hoʻoikaika mau mākou no kahi hoʻolālā o nā hōkele hōkū ʻekolu ma Lebanona. ʻO ka mākeke ka nui o nā hōkele ʻehā a me ʻelima. I ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa ʻo Lebanona e pono ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻaʻole e hoʻolilo wale i $500 i ka pō no kahi lumi, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā poʻe hoʻomaha ʻē aʻe, "wahi a Johnny Modawar, ka ʻōlelo a ka hui.

Akā ke kū nei kahi paʻakikī i ka poʻe e like me ka manaʻo o Modawar.

Ua ʻae ʻo Nada al-Sardook, ka luna nui o ka Ministry of Tourism, ʻaʻole i lawelawe ʻia ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa o ka spectrum o nā mākaʻikaʻi i kona hiki ke kiʻekiʻe e ka ʻoihana i loaʻa i kēia manawa. "ʻAʻole pono ʻo Lebanona he wahi kiʻekiʻe wale nō," wahi āna. "He wahi ia no nā mea a pau ... Pono mākou e loaʻa kahi lako i kūpono i nā kālā āpau."

Ke hoʻoikaika nei ka ʻOihana Hoʻonaʻauao e wehe i ke ala i ka mākeke ulu. ʻElua mau papahana i hoʻomaka koke ʻia nei, ʻo ka Lebanese Mountain Trail - kahi ʻāpana o nā ala hele wāwae ma ka wao nahele o Lebanona a me nā wahi kua'āina, a me ka DHIAFEE Program - kahi pūnaewele e hāʻawi ana i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi me nā koho hoʻokipa ma waho o Beirut, ua manaʻo ʻia e lawe mai i ka mākaʻikaʻi i nā mea liʻiliʻi. ʻimi pinepine ʻia nā kihi o ka ʻāina.

ʻO ka hoʻonui hou ʻana o nā huakaʻi kūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i Beirut, ʻo ia hoʻi ka lawe ʻana mai iā Lebanona i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi me ka makemake no ka mākaʻikaʻi kūpono.

ʻO ka flydubai mea kūʻai haʻahaʻa, nāna i wehe i kahi ala Dubai-Beirut ma mua o kēia mahina, ʻo ia ka mea hou loa o ʻehiku mau mea kūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i ʻōlelo ʻia e hoʻoikaika ana i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o Lebanona.

ʻOiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea kūʻai aku o nā mea kūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa me ke ala i Beirut ʻaʻole kānalua ka poʻe Lebanese expatriates e hana ana ma ke Kaiwa, he hapa nui ka haole a hele mai no kahi huakaʻi huakaʻi hopena pule, e like me Modawar. "Manaʻo wau he nui ka lanakila o Lebanona mai kēia hopena pule e hele mai ana mai ka Middle East," wahi āna.

Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hāʻawi ʻana no kahi mākaʻikaʻi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi - me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka maikaʻi - hiki ke ʻae i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi e paʻi hohonu i ka mākeke o nā mākaʻikaʻi ʻEulopa, wahi āna.

ʻO Marwa Rizk Jaber, ka luna hoʻomalu a me ka mea nona ka hale huakaʻi huakaʻi kūʻai ʻo U Travel ma Beirut, manaʻo ʻo ia ka paʻa ʻole o Lebanona i mālama ai i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana. "Ua hoʻopilikia nui ʻia nā kamaʻāina o nā ʻāina ʻEulopa e ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka pāpā ma Lebanona a me nā ʻōlelo aʻo a ko lākou mau aupuni ʻaʻole e kipa aku iā Lebanona i ka wā e hiki mai ai kekahi hanana palekana," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, e wānana ana "e hoʻomaka ka poʻe ʻEulopa e hele mai i nā helu he nui. ” i ka wā e mālie ai ke kūlana.

Hiki paha kēia hopena. Ke piʻi hou nei ka nui o nā haole e hele ana i Lebanona mai ka wā i hāʻule koke ai lākou i ka makahiki 2006 ma hope o ka hakakā kaua i hoʻopilikia i nā wahi o ka ʻāina.

I ka makahiki 2008, ʻo ka huina o ka poʻe haole e komo ana i ka ʻāina he 31 pākēneka kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka makahiki i hala e like me nā helu o ka Ministry of Tourism. I kēia makahiki, 57 pakeneka o nā haole i komo i Lebanona ma waena o Ianuali a me ʻApelila 2009 ma mua o ka manawa like i 2008.

Eia kekahi, ua hoʻolaha aku nei nā hui hōkele honua e like me Accor a me Rotana i nā hoʻolālā e hoʻomaka i kā lākou mau hōʻailona kālā ma ka Hikina Waena, akā ʻaʻole lākou i hana i nā hoʻolālā paʻa e hoʻonui i Lebanona no ka manawa.

Pono ka Ministry of Tourism a me ka hui pilikino e hoʻomohala i kahi hoʻolālā kūʻai maʻamau, wahi a Jaber. "Pehea e makemake ai ke aupuni e hoʻonoho iā Lebanona, ʻo Monaco a ʻo Switzerland paha o ka Middle-East, a ʻoi aku paha e like me Turkey a i ʻole Cyprus kahi āu i loaʻa ai nā ʻano mākaʻikaʻi āpau mai ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa a i ka nani?" ninau mai la ia, me ka olelo. "Manaʻo wau ʻo ka koho maikaʻi loa ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kumu hoʻohālike Cyprus me nā wahi kikoʻī no ka mākaʻikaʻi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa."
