It seems that the principle of launching slogans and not implementing them has been established in Lebanon on more than one level, bringing the spectrum of “deception” to the tourism sector, the only sector that must work to change the world’s view of us, and our view of each other, but what is happening is completely opposite.
The expatriates of Lebanon believed the promises of the Minister of Tourism, Walid Nassar, who in turn launched the “Welcome to Hell” campaign, in cooperation with tourism institutions, so that many were surprised by a different reality, which developed in one of Beirut’s nightclubs, called CAPITOLE, into an exploitative, humiliating and humiliating reality.
The club’s officials behaved with unwarranted contempt for its patrons, applying “violent rulings” on them, which were absent from the sights of the tourist police of Nassar’s Ministry, as if this club was a “separate republic” that practices customs specific to all “insolence and arrogance.”
In a novel that shows how “rude” what is happening in the CAPITOLE, a group of 12 people requested a reservation, to hold a birthday party for one of them. At least per person, just so the group agrees to pass the night without spoiling the party.
On the night of booking, 10 people arrived between nine and nine thirty, and the other two people went from the airport directly to the club from Dubai, arriving at ten and 19 minutes, but this “guilt” was not forgiven by the CAPITOLE administration, so the two people arrived at the club at Ten and 19, led to their being prevented from entering, on the pretext that entry is forbidden following quarter past ten, despite all the explanation that they are not responsible for the airport’s congestion and that they do not have a private plane to control flight arrival times, and despite the fact that the cabaret management did not warn them earlier About arrival times at all.
And the “most terrible” is that the justifications for the shocking decision, on the part of the people in charge of the club, contradicted, as some of them said that the reason for preventing the two people from entering is that the place is “full”, knowing that any institution has the obligation to confiscate as it is, and it is not entitled to dispose of any chair or table that was booked pre.
Shameful, illogical and unjustified stories follow regarding the aforementioned club, as the “insolence” developed to prevent a girl who held a special party for her birthday, from entering to meet her friends who had arrived before her, because she was only 5 minutes late from 10:15, as if we were in a dictatorial regime.
Dear Minister of Tourism, the owner of promises that attract expatriates and tourists, why do you promise people things that you will not implement? Are you in coordination and communication with the tourist police of your ministry?
Where is the application of the slogan “Welcome to this look” in light of such behaviors that strike Lebanon’s historical image, Lebanon known for its hospitality and the tact of its sons?
Have you set a trap and a plot for the expatriates, to lure the “Fresh Dollars” away from “giving them back” their minimum civil rights, which is the good treatment by some of the so-called tourist establishments?
Urgent questions before it is too late, and it is better to consider it a “warning” so that the expatriates do not break a “jar” behind them on the airport road during their return to the expatriate country.
