Project Overview
LebTravel is a modern tourism web portal designed to promote Lebanon as a premier travel destination. The platform features interactive maps, immersive 360 virtual tours, hotel and activity bookings, and AI-curated travel itineraries tailored to visitor preferences.
The Challenge
Lebanon tourism sector needed a digital-first approach to attract international visitors. The existing tourism website was outdated, lacked interactive features, and had no booking capabilities. The goal was to create an immersive experience that would showcase Lebanon diverse attractions while making trip planning effortless.
