Abstract:

Currently, Lebanon is witnessing a shift in Arab tourists’ demands from residing in expensive and space-restricted hotel rooms to more comfortable and economically affordable timeshare vacation homes. This paper evaluates the needs, demands, and social life practices of Arab tourists and discusses their effect on the Lebanese vacation ownership industry. The quality of life of Arab tourists visiting Lebanon has been more fulfilled through ownership and residency in custom built timeshare vacation homes than residing in space-limited hotel rooms.
