Liwan Village Hosts Exclusive Media Gathering to Showcase Visionary Sustainable Tourism Project and Casadar Guest House
Under the summer sun and the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Annaya–Hjoula region, Mr. Henri Asseily, Managing Director of Liwan Village, and Mr. Dany Hakim, the project's Master Plan Developer, personally led the media tour. The guests were given an exclusive first look at the project's distinct zones; from the eco-tourism trails and agri-tourism lands to the event venue seamlessly carved into the mountainside.
'This is more than just a tourism destination,' said Mr. Hakim, addressing the crowd during the site walk-through. 'Liwan Village is a living vision of sustainability, community, and modern design rooted deeply in our land's spirit. From the initial master plan to every stone restored, we've worked to create something truly holistic and enduring.'
Guests witnessed firsthand the project's thoughtfully integrated residential plots, guest houses, and commercial spaces designed to connect both locals and tourists to the cultural and spiritual legacy of the region.
Liwan Village also announced collaborative efforts with local municipalities to create job opportunities, foster entrepreneurship, and strengthen the economic links between neighboring towns and villages.
One of the highlights of the tour was the Liwan Village Event Venue, unveiled to applause as Mr. Henri Asseily explained how it was carved into ancient rock formations and restored heritage dwellings. 'This space honors the past while embracing the future,' he said. 'It's designed to host weddings, retreats, and cultural events year-round; both indoors and outdoors; all while maintaining harmony with the landscape.'
The final stop on the tour was Casadar Guest House, a boutique hospitality experience nestled in the green heart of the village. Rodine El Hakim, General Manager of Casadar, welcomed the guests and gave an intimate tour of the suites, many of which feature jacuzzis, private indoor pools, or Roman-inspired bathing areas.
'With scenic views, tailored comfort, and an AI-powered guest experience platform, Casadar is redefining luxury in the Lebanese mountains,' said El Hakim. 'It's where modern comfort meets the timeless warmth of Lebanese hospitality.'
Media attendees were treated to refreshments sourced from local producers and invited to experience the natural serenity that defines Liwan Village. Many described the event as an inspiring glimpse into Lebanon's potential as a sustainable and high-quality tourism destination.

A grand slam year: Roland-Garros themed suites launches at Pullman Dubai Downtown
Accor's Pullman Dubai Downtown is serving up a hospitality experience with the launch of the Roland-Garros themed suites – the first of its kind in the Middle East, developed as a part of ALL Accor's loyalty program, and an official partner of the tournament since 2015. Paul Stevens, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Middle East, Africa & Türkiye at Accor says, 'Through our global partnership with Roland-Garros, we're proud to bring this iconic French sporting experience to the region. More than a themed stay, this collaboration celebrates culture and sport in the heart of Dubai, aligning with the UAE's vision to become a global hub for lifestyle, tourism, and innovation in hospitality.' 'We've moved from visibility to immersion. These fully transformed properties with Roland-Garros-inspired design, programming, and fan zones allow guests to live the tournament spirit wherever they are,' says Kerry Healy, Chief Commercial Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy, Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific at Accor. It transforms a signature suite into an immersive, grand slam-inspired tennis retreat, offering guests a chance to experience the Parisian tournament in the heart of Dubai. But this activation is just one part of a much larger play for emotional loyalty, immersive experiences, and global brand storytelling. From branding to loyalty ALL Accor branding is prominently featured on-site at Roland-Garros, from courtside signage to hospitality spaces and fan activations. Healy notes, the branded suites were the result of a significant uplift in net media value for ALL Accor (their loyalty program) following the renewed Roland-Garros partnership in 2014, particularly due to enhanced brand visibility on the tournament's main courts. At the same time, viewership of Roland-Garros grew across priority markets for Accor, not just the Middle East, but globally, including Brazil, the U.S., Western Europe, and China. These insights revealed a strong appetite for premium, lifestyle-driven sports content among global audiences. In response, Accor strategically rebranded select hotels to bring the tournament's unique energy and atmosphere directly to guests. 'That's why we extended the experience beyond the screen, rebranding select hotels and creating immersive Roland-Garros atmospheres on property, to engage tennis fans and guests locally in an authentic, emotionally resonant way,' comments Healy. The combination of branding and loyalty efforts strengthens Accor's engagement with its audience, extending its reach beyond the tournament itself and into its own suites. The Roland-Garros themed suites Open from May 27, 2025, to May 2026, the immersive suites and hotel transformations launched at Pullman flagship properties in Paris, Tokyo, and São Paulo – each being the first and only officially licensed Roland-Garros themed suites ever created in their respective countries. These activations are tailored to reflect the local market while staying true to the brand's cosmopolitan and experiential DNA. The suite highlights an immersive in-room design with bespoke Roland-Garros décor, exclusive gaming content, and curated culinary offerings, aimed at engaging tennis fans, design lovers, and cosmopolitan travellers alike. 'Our strategy focuses on direct engagement with tennis fans, lifestyle travellers, and ALL Accor loyalty members, using both global and hyper-local tools,' says Healy. In parallel, Pullman Dubai Downtown activated live tournament screenings and themed events at Breadhouse Bistro & Bakery to further amplify the Grand Slam energy for guests and locals. In-hotel activations, like watch parties, themed dining menus, and immersive fan zones, supported converting locals and walk-ins into brand advocates, making the experience accessible even without a suite booking. And finally, the Limitless Experiences rewarded members with access to Roland-Garros, building emotional loyalty and word-of-mouth buzz far beyond the campaign window. The global media rollout was launched on platforms like YouTube and Meta and is being tailored to meet younger audiences where they live and engage online. The 360° content strategy included behind-the-scenes footage, influencer collaborations, and immersive storytelling across social media and digital channels to drive emotional connection and virality. Hyper-targeted digital ads on platforms like Meta and YouTube, tailored by market (including the UAE, France, Japan, Brazil, and more), are being used to reach tennis audiences during high-intent moments – especially around key tournament dates. Meeting new generations where they are While not explicitly targeted at high-net-worth individuals, the Roland-Garros audience naturally overlaps with Accor's luxury and premium segments. But there's also a strong generational element to the marketing initiative. 'We're not just targeting traditional tennis fans; we're intentionally reaching younger, experience-driven audiences who value curated, culturally relevant brand moments,' says Healy. 'Younger demographics, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, are increasingly drawn to brands that offer more than just a product or service. They want emotionally resonant experiences, personal relevance, and digital-first engagement. That's exactly what this Roland-Garros partnership delivers.' She continues, 'By elevating ALL Accor as not just a loyalty program but a cultural connector, linking tennis, travel, and lifestyle, we're speaking directly to younger consumers who want to align with brands that share their passions in travel, sport, and unique experiences.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pullman Dubai Downtown (@pullmandubaidowntown) Designed for the Roland-Garros enthusiast The initiative aligns with ALL Accor's broader mission: to evolve its loyalty program into a global lifestyle brand. At the 2024 tournament, Accor launched Advantage a new platform connecting tennis fans with privileged access to hotels, curated experiences, and exclusive rewards. Healy says, 'Our partnership reflects a long-term strategic commitment to elevating ALL Accor, our loyalty program, as a global lifestyle and hospitality brand, particularly in the world of sport,' says Kerry Healy, Chief Commercial Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy, Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific at Accor. 'This platform connects tennis fans with the world of ALL Accor, offering privileged hotel access, loyalty rewards, and curated lifestyle experiences. Our goal is to make ALL Accor the natural choice for tennis enthusiasts, not just during the tournament, but year-round,' She adds. As a result, the branded suite aims to deliver a Grand Slam experience while aligning with ALL Accor's ongoing mission to connect guests with culture, sport, and lifestyle experiences. The Roland-Garros themed suites in Dubai is just the beginning. 'Our work with Roland-Garros is a blueprint for how we blend brand, sport, lifestyle, and loyalty into a cohesive and enduring global platform, one that creates real value for guests, hotel owners, and the broader Accor ecosystem,' comments Healy. She adds, 'This isn't just about regional awareness. It's a global brand play. The goal is to scale and adapt this concept across other markets over time, depending on brand fit, guest appetite, and regional event relevance – so while it starts in Dubai for the Middle East, it's not the last.' With international campaigns spanning France, the UK, the U.S., Australia, and Brazil, the brand is building a year-round lifestyle offering that meets guests at the intersection of passion and travel.

Introducing my son to Lebanon helped me heal my relationship with home
As the wheels touch down on the tarmac at Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport, my wife and I turn to our 20-month-old son, Dia, kiss his soft head and whisper: 'Welcome home.' Then we both cry. It's his first time in Lebanon – a trip long delayed by an interminable war. Like many Lebanese born in the diaspora, my relationship to the country has always been complicated. Raised abroad, I absorbed it through Sunday meals at Lebanese restaurants in London, family stories and summer visits. As a teenager and young adult, I would go on to live there for 10 years, turning it into a site of belonging and often heartbreak. For the past five years, I've been estranged from it. I had seen a lot during my years in Lebanon, but nothing broke me like the August 4 Beirut port explosion. I felt I lost too much that day. I almost lost my father, who was in a building by the port. We couldn't locate him for hours. I lost far less important things – our company's brand-new office, my car, work projects. After that trip, I left broken. Something had snapped in my already tense relationship with a country that was often exhausting to live in, however much I loved it. Since then, I've only returned for work, family emergencies or deaths. My relationship with Lebanon calcified into something unpleasant. But something shifted on this trip. I came back as a different person. I came back as a father. Lebanon today feels hopeful but precarious – a country both limping out of war and still staggering from the collapse of 2019. The streets are tired. Shoots of wild grass protrude from the pavements and highways. I have become obsessed with these unkempt public roads. They remind me of the way Lebanon looked at the end of the civil war. The country has the air of an aristocratic home fallen into disrepair – once proud, now crumbling, its residents unable to afford its upkeep. But still full of life and stories. But none of that matters when I see my son here. To see how he belongs to this place. He's surrounded by doting grandparents. Even the neighbours beam when they see him. He devours zaatar and stuffed vine leaves. He's wide-eyed with curiosity. As Lebanese, our link to the motherland can often be tied to the kind of nostalgia these scenes can evoke. Nostalgia is a powerful, sometimes dangerous thing. It led many in our diaspora to invest life savings in Lebanon out of duty or hope, only to watch them vanish in the banking collapse. I used to be so weary of that dangerous form of nostalgia that led people to be irrational. But I find myself understanding it this time. For me, returning to Lebanon has always carried a hint of regression. Like anyone revisiting their parents' home, you slip back into old habits, old roles. You unlearn everything that's happened in the intervening years. But this time is different. There's no regression – only transformation. I'm here not as a son, but as a father. I'm not trying to make sense of my place, I'm building a bridge for my son between his heritage and his future. In a recent therapy session, while speaking about my connection to the Mediterranean, I had a surprising realisation: it wasn't the sea I was so anchored to. It was the mountain. I wanted to see if Dia had the same connection. On a visit to Jaj – a village 1,200 metres above the historic coastal town of Byblos – my wife's aunt left some cherries unpicked in the garden just for Dia. He picked them himself, dropping them into a plastic tub with glee. Nour noticed the cherries at the top had been pecked at. 'The top of the tree is for the birds,' her aunt said. 'The bottom is for us.' One simple sentence. Centuries of understanding how to live with the land, not just on it. And now, my son is learning that wisdom. And through him, so am I. Back in Beirut, we realise the city is not exactly toddler-friendly. Pavements are often a suggestion. When they do exist, they're broken, cluttered, blocked by scooters and cars. Electrical cables dangle from poles. It's whatever the opposite of baby-proof is. One afternoon, Nour suggests we might find more space to roam by taking Dia to my alma mater – the American University of Beirut. I haven't set foot there in years. I don't often reminisce about my time there, or much else. But walking through the main gate feels like a reckoning. I tell the security guard I remember my student number – a strange fact to recall from 2001. He pulls up my record, and there it is: my old ID photo. I barely recognise the boy in the image – fresh-faced and naive. Closer in age to Dia than to me now. I'm carrying my son and pointing at the ID photo on the screen, wondering if he'll recognise me. He smiles. Maybe he does. Maybe he's just happy to be here too. As he runs around the grounds of the 19th-century campus, I remember something Nour told me recently – about mycelium networks that connect trees underground, allowing forests to share resources and nutrients. That's how I feel, watching my son plant his feet on this soil. He's connected to people he's never met, to land he's never seen. And in watching him, I realise I'm part of that network too, in a way I haven't felt in years.
