Kedenian Anticipates Flourishing Tourism Season in Summer
Tourism Minister Ouadis Kedenian anticipated a promising tourism season with the return of tourists from various Arab Gulf countries to Lebanon in the upcoming summer season, the State-run National News Agency reported on Friday.
The Minister noted that a German delegation will be visiting Lebanon on April 15 to discuss the activation of the tourism course between Lebanon and Europe, and another Chinese will pay Lebanon a visit on April 20 to sign a tourism agreement between Lebanon and China, NNA added.
“In early April, we have information that many Gulf citizens from several Gulf countries will visit Lebanon to spend their annual holidays during this period. They asked us to be ready to receive them at the office of the Ministry of Tourism at the airport, meaning we are coming on an excellent tourism season,” the Minister said.
Kedenian's stance came in the context of a joint press conference with secretary general of World Lebanese Cultural Union Wissam Azzi who clarified the union’s project of prompting 450 young Lebanese emigrants from different foreign countries to visit Lebanon and get to know about the roots of their ancestors.

he is a thug, not lebanese and certainly not a minister in a lebanese cabinet.
تحدث وزير السياحة افيديس كيدانيان عبر التلفزيون عن مفاضلته بين #ارمينيا وتركيا، وقال انه يفضّل ارمينيا، وانه متمسّك بأصوله، إنما نقل عنه على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي، كلام يقول فيه: "لا أرحب أبداً بوفود تركية سياحية تزور لبنان، فأنا أكره #تركيا بمن فيها".
سياسة بعد الضجّة... كيف علّق وزير السياحة لـ"النهار" عن مفاضلته بين أرمينيا وتركيا؟

a joke of a country indeed... A so called minister risks Lebanon's interests for his own personal sectarian interests and insults another country that welcomes Lebanese national without a Visa. This POS should be fired from the government and send back to his Armenia where he belongs.
But again that would be expected in a normal country and not one that is run by a mafia from top to bottom.

I prefer A Sri Lankan maid to this character and his likes. She has more honor and loyalty to Lebanon and its people. She also speaks better Arabic than this narcissist ever will. Go live in Armenia among people of your ilk.

I dont understand how you guys could be so offensive. Stop being naive and saying that Hizbulla wont allow it and they will kidnap them and whatnot. Hizbullah wont do a thing give the current circumstances, its not as simple as you think and the ramifications of Hizbullah attacking/kidnapping/harming any GCC citizen will make the whole world and even his own people turn against him. Quit being so shallow, for once we are hearing some good news that might or might not be true, least you can do is be hopeful for all our sakes that this is true.
Since when did you guys care if he prefers Armenia over Lebanon, he is an Armenian citizen after all and he answered the question as a person and not as Minister of Tourism. And concerning Turkey...Have you guys lost your mind? The Turks butchered and hungered your ancestors. Shut up and stop acting like your are the nationalistic people who have no brain.
