National Stakeholder Workshop on Ecotourism

​​The Ministry of Tourism of Lebanon and the UNCTAD are organizing the National Stakeholder Workshop on Ecotourism that will take place 6–7 March 2018 in Beirut. The workshop is being convened as part of a National Green Export Review (NGER) supported by UNCTAD and the Ministry.

Workshop discussion will explore ways to:

• Diversify and add value to ecotourism;
• Enhance ecotourism services quality;
• Broaden ecotourism linkages to other sectors;
• Enhance institutional support and infrastructure for ecotourism;
• Promote new ecotourism marketing and communication strategies; and
• Ensure long-term environmental, social and economic sustainability for the sector.

The ultimate goal of the workshop is for stakeholders to prepare and adopt a national action plan to strengthen Lebanon’s ecotourism sector.
