Leba**n expects Gulf Arabs to end travel warning this month
 

By Matt Smith DUBAI, May 7 (Reuters) - Gulf Arab states will scrap by the end of the month a travel warning for citizens thinking of visiting Leba**n, in a sign of improving relations with the new Lebanese government, its tourism minister said on Wednesday. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates - once provided the bulk of Leba**n's tourism revenue but last June warned citizens against visiting as Syria's civil war fuelled sectarian violence in its smaller neighbour. When people talk to the authorities they tell them: 'You can go to Leba**n'," Lebanese Tourism Minister Michel Pharaon told Reuters in a telephone interview. We see this will be before the end of the month." Lifting the travel advisory comes as Leba**n's new government, formed in February after 10 months of political deadlock, beds in.
