New Eco-Tourism Venture Unveiled by Libya
Sara Hassan
"Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhafi's son, Saif al-Islam, yesterday unveiled an ambitious new eco-tourism project near the ancient city of Cyrene on the north-east of coast of Libya. The plan is to build a tourism complex, which is to include over 20 luxury hotels, near the city's archaeological ruins, with the initial stages of the project set to cost US$3 billion. As a result of its long period of international isolation, Libya has so far escaped the mass tourism invasion of neighbouring Egypt and Tunisia, and much of its landscape remains unspoilt. Further details about the project and a proposed timescale have yet to be unveiled." ......
"The project has received strong backing from the UNESCO (UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Centre."
