“There is no need to have these major concerns that the media is telling you about Lebanon,” he said after meeting with Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain al-Tineh, adding that the reports are “politicized.”

The minister also stressed the importance of maintaining strong ties with countries in the region, particularly the GCC countries

Last month, Saudi Arabia lifted a travel ban against Lebanon, also announcing that it would appoint a new ambassador. It promised to increase flights by their national carrier, Saudi Airlines, to promote tourism and travel between the two countries as well.

A travel ban imposed by Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other gulf countries severely impacted Lebanon’s tourism season last summer.
