Hotels dispute Ernst & Young report of rebound

The Daily Star

Head of Lebanon’s hotel owners said Sunday that hotels in Beirut and Mount Lebanon have seen one of the lowest room occupancy in many years, despite a report by Ernst & Young that claimed otherwise. “I think that Ernst & Young has surveyed a handful of five star hotels in the first six months of this year and compared them to the same period of 2011. The first six months of 2011 was actually very bad and for this reason it’s not fair to compare it with the first six months of this year,” said Pierre Achkar, hotel owner and president of the Lebanese Hotel Association.
