Lebanon's hotel sector is holding up at a low ebb thanks to displaced persons from the South

Broumana/Beirut (Lebanon), Nov 1 (EFE)—The Lebanese hotel sector is experiencing its worst moment, with tourism disappearing and revenues falling by about 70% since the outbreak of the conflict with Israel a year ago. It is only kept afloat by the wave of displaced persons from the south seeking accommodation after fleeing their homes.
