Tourism Activity Rose by 44.59% YoY in 2025

According to the Ministry of Tourism’s data, the number of incoming visitors to Lebanon in 2025, increased significantly by 44.59% year-on-year (YoY), reaching 1,635,490. This surge is mainly driven by a sharp rise in European visitors, which accounted for the largest share and fastest growth. This broad-based increase across most regions reflects improving travel conditions and renewed confidence, although a decline in “other” nationalities slightly tempered the overall expansion.

Of course, the upcoming numbers for 2026, especially after February 2026, are naturally dependent, mostly in a negative way, on the on-going war in Lebanon and the MENA region.

Here is a breakdown of visitors by nationality / Continent to Lebanon in 2025:
