On average countries see a 5-6% growth but Lebanon tourism is doing quite well as reflected by the growth in Lebanon tourism sector.  Lebanon has things to offer in this region that others cannot.  For example, quality of service, geography, nightlife, cuisine, the beach, snow, ecotourism, religious tourism, and price.  All of these factors help us succeed in tourism in Lebanon and enhance our growth to being the best in the world.  For 2010 we should see an increase of around 25% in Lebanon tourism sector.

We start with a market study then we go on to start the feasibility study.  Then we start gathering the investment; if it’s not a foreign investor we do it using our list of potential investors.  The whole process from gathering the investment to the opening is basically operational: finding the chef, deciding on the menu, recruiting the manager, the branding, the trademark, registering the company, and the legal issues.  After the opening we usually sign contracts for management and operations.
