  • Chapter 4 Assessment of the Tourism Sector

    Chapter 4 Assessment of the Tourism Sector

    The Study on the Integrated Tourism Development Plan in the Republic of Lebanon Final Report Vol. 4 Sector Review Report Chapter 4 Assessment of the Tourism Sector 4.1 Competitiveness This section uses the well-known Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats [SWOT] approach to evaluate the competitiveness of Lebanon for distinct types of tourism, and to provide a logical basis for key measures to be recommended to strengthen the sector. The three tables appearing in this section summarize the characteristics of nine segments of demand that Lebanon is attracting and together present a SWOT analysis for each to determine their strategic importance. The first table matches segments with their geographic origin. The second shows characteristics of the segments. Although the Diaspora is first included as a geographic origin, in the two later tables it is listed [as a column] alongside the segments in order to show a profile of its characteristics. The third table presents a SWOT analysis for each segment. 4.1.1 Strengths The strengths generally focus on certain strong and unique characteristics that Lebanon enjoys building its appeal for the nine segments. The country’s mixture of socio-cultural assets including its built heritage and living traditions constitutes a major strength for cultural tourism, and secondarily for MICE segment [which seeks interesting excursions], and for the nature-based markets [which combines nature and culture]. For the Diaspora, Lebanon is the unique homeland and is unrivaled in that role. The country’s moderate Mediterranean climate is a strong factor for the vacationing families coming from the hotter GCC countries.

The second part provides the distribution of partisan and political powers over the 15 electoral districts set in the law governing the elections of May 6, 2018. It also offers basic information related to each district: the number of voters, the expected participation rate, the electoral quotient, the candidate’s ceiling on election expenditure, in addition to an analytical overview of the 2005 and 2009 elections, their results and alliances. The distribution of parties for 2018 is based on the research team’s analysis and estimates from different sources. 2 Table of Contents Page Introduction .......................................................................................................

She is a student pursuing her masters in media and communication at School of Communication, Manipal Academy of Higher Education(MAHE), Manipal, India. Her area of interests include diasporic media preferences, media audiences and cultural identity . She is an Indian who is a resident of Qatar for the past 23 years.Email id : [email protected], ph: 9902480132 Corresponding Author: Ms.Manjula Venkataraghavan, Assistant Professor, School of Communication, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India.She has been teaching media subjects for the past ten years . The areas that interest her includes scope of new media technologies in the health sector as well as new media effects on children and adolescents. Email id:[email protected], ph : 9902098241. Abstract Media plays an important role in the reconstruction of cultural identities of the diaspora and helps negotiate a borderline existence between the home country and the host country. The diasporic identity is constructed through the use of media and the identity that they carried with them to the new host country. The polarities of the physical connection to the place that they currently stay in and the cultural bond that they share with their native nation constantly tug at them. Media helps in maintaining the constancy in the diasporic identity. Accessibility of ethnic media is a way of maintaining the traditional links with their homeland as it serves as a symbolic bond connecting their cultures to their places of origin which is partly imagined and partly experienced.
