The minister of culture, Mohamad Daoud, opened on May 19, the tourism season for 2019 and a pedestrian path at the South Sea Corniche of the southern city of Tyre. The street which embraces art and heritage exhibitions, was inaugurated in the presence of the Italian, French and Korean troops operating within UNIFIL. On the occasion, while Daoud stressed the importance of similar events in stimulating the economic cycle, Tyre mayor, Hassan Dbuk, urged the Lebanese to visit the city. The latter, he said, has received some 18,000 foreigners who visited the archeological sites during the month of April. Similarly, the head of the information committee in the municipality, Khudr Aknan, explained the purpose of the pedestrian street which is to create safe spaces for children and elderly people away from the clamor of cars and motorcycles. The municipality, he said, extends to exhibitors all the assistance they need to showcase their products and projects for free, pointing to the presence of shops and eateries along the street for the benefit of all.
