The Christmas tree in the Cedar Lounge area in Beirut – Rafik Hariri International Airport is made of recycled aviation materials such as fire extinguishers and life vests. It received a lot of criticism. People pointed out that the tree did not reflect the holiday vibes. Also, the tourists might not get a great impression of Lebanon after seeing it.
