New Airport Tax. Great Idea
June 21, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
Bloggers like Jad Aoun hate the idea of taxing outgoing travellers to fund the promotion of Lebanon abroad. I think it’s a great idea (if the use of the proceeds is transparent).
Think of it as the “Leaving Lebanon Tax”. It’s your way of making sure that when you leave lebanon, someone else replaces you. And the more people leave, the more we have to promote Lebanon. Sounds like a good idea to me.
