Chairman of organisers, IFP, Albert Aoun, said in the build-up to the event: “Lebanon has a long history as a preferred destination in the region for outdoor activities and sports. During the last decade, Lebanon’s temperate climate and rich nature have begun to attract many foreign visitors and local residents interested in outdoor recreational and sporting activities as well as environmental tourism. The Lebanese mountains annually host very large numbers of skiers, who enjoy the skiing and winter sports season, while the summer is best known for all types of water sports and activities, such as diving, fishing, swimming, and others, while hunting, camping, and jogging are popular, traditional summer activities in Lebanon.”
He said activities such as bungee jumping, gliding, kayaking, and jet skiing have also become popular in recent years.
The exhibition includes local and international companies.
