Despite Covid, Economic Crash, Lebanon's Winter Resorts Back to Business
Business in Lebanon's winter resorts is returning to normal after last year's complete lockdown due to the spread of COVID-19 that badly hurt winter tourism in the small country.
Skiers were seen running down the piste and children sliding down the hills at the Faraya-Mzaar ski resort, this weekend, despite the newly imposed restrictions and the financial crisis described by the World Bank as one of the worst in the world since the 1850s.
Lebanon has registered more than 760,000 cases and 9,250 deaths since discovering its first COVID-19 case in February 2020.
Fresh restrictions by the Lebanese authorities included the requirement of a vaccination certificate or negative PCR test for entry into restaurants, hotels and resorts.
