Abstract :Slow tourism is related to sustainable tourism, through catchy slogans that make people appreciate more the local food, nature, culture and heritage. The current study seeks to revise the impact of slow tourism in Lebanon in post pandemic sustainability. The main aim of the study is to advocate slow tourism in Lebanon as a solution towards sustainable tourism development, and that outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking etc., may give noteworthy understanding of the issue at hand, and under investigation. While, a recent study focused on such activities in the Chouf area in Lebanon, to explore whether or not “slow tourism affects sustainable development” provides the impetus for the current investigators to delve in the current issue. The selected research strategy the researchers propose to conduct will attempt to answer this, mostly through analyzing Primary data from surveying and through a questionnaire. The analysis of the findings was helpful at gathering the insights and incentives of tourists in endorsing slow tourism in Lebanon for the recovery of the industry post pandemic.
