'A sea of opportunities': Jounieh's touristic port reopens

The Jounieh Touristic Port was reopened Tuesday evening under the slogan "Jounieh Touristic Port... A Sea of ​​Opportunities," under the patronage of President Joseph Aoun, who was represented by Public Works and Transport Minister Fayez Rasamny, and at the invitation of MP Neemat Frem, as part of a joint initiative between the public and private sectors.

“Three generations are looking forward to this port. The sixties generation remembers the most beautiful times when Lebanon was the Switzerland of the East. There is the eighties generation, who see a different time when we could breathe towards the world only through it. Today's generation will see this port as the new, beautiful time, the new, and joyful Lebanon, a time that will attract tourists instead of ensuring the flight of citizens," Frem said in a speech.

He stressed the need to activate the port of Jounieh because it “represents Lebanese capabilities.”

“Before we ask the world for money to establish large projects, we must activate existing projects,” Frem added. He pointed out that this port is a gateway to Europe through Cyprus, which is only 200 kilometers away. “Through it we can attract tourists from there by contacting Cypriot travel companies,” he added.
