Ecotourism campaigns Have Succeeded As Witnessed In Arsal, North East Lebanon

Ecotourism in Lebanon really took off as a serious tourism activity in the year 1997 when people began to take annual trips to Arsal which is a huge village in North East Lebanon.

The aim of the ecotourism campaigns used here were to add strength to the relations between the local community and those of the Association for Rural Development in Arsal (ARDA) that is a major player in environment and development activities, and is a non-government organization (NGO) as well as partner to Reforestation Network.

They were to introduce the unique culture and also nature to friends of Arsal and also provide to ARDA a means to generate income.
