Lebanon is experiencing growth in tourism despite the myriad of political problems, Tourism Minister Michel Pharaon said.
"Despite all the problems facing the country, tourism witnessed a growth of 25 percent over the past nine months," Pharaon said recently during a ceremony at the Sports and Culture Club in the Jbeil district town of Qartaba.
He said the growth was owed to civil society, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
