Lebanon recently welcomes 18 female Russian tour guides in a effort to cater to the growing number of Russian tourists to the country, as reported by Daily Star. Tourism minister Michel Pharaon distributed certificates to graduating guides from the governmental tourism program. This is the first wave of women to join a new initiative targeting tourists from Russia in line with an expected increase this year.
According to the ministry’s director-general Nada Sardouk, the program requires three months of training in various cultural, historic, and touristic cites across Lebanon.
The ministry further announced that the country expected to attract a large number of Russians. Similarly, Sardouk said Russian travel agencies visiting cultural and historic sites in Lebanon expressed satisfaction with guides provided and assured the ministry that they would work to place Lebanon on Russia’s tourism map.
