COVID-19 has hit Lebanon hard, with inbound tourist flows plummeting and lodging and airline companies feeling the effects of this lack of demand. From 13 March, the strict government restrictions and country-wide lockdown led to a sharp drop in inbound and domestic tourist flows and forced the closure of a wide range of shops, restaurants and hotels. Flights were grounded, with these conditions effectively halting tourism operations until restrictions began to lift in mid-May.
