Libya - the Answer to the Azure Shore

Libya plans to create its own copy of the Azure shore, constructing the unique eco-tourist project in the east. The leader of the Libyan revolution Maummar Gaddafi announced the previous day that the time has come to join the developed countries and show that we are a civilized nation in cultural and ecological questions . Giving a speech in the ruins and columns of the ancient Rome city of Cyrene in east of Libya, he announced an ambitious project that, according to his words, will become the first ecologically sound tourist complex of such a huge scale in the world and will include seaside resorts at the Mediterranean coastline, mountain areas Al Djebel Al-Akhdar, ancient Greek and Rome cities and antique historical and archaeological monuments. It is supposed that renewable sources of energy â€" the sun and the wind, - will be used in the future tourist zone, that will allow to preserve the nature of this region still untouched by civilization. Libyan initiative gained the complete support of UNESCO, the president of the World Heritage Centre Francesco Bandarin declared in Cyrene. The international architectural company Foster Partners will develop the project of the future zone, and the Libyan businessman Hasan Tatanaki is going to invest during the coming two years $1 million in construction of three international class hotels as the first step of development of the project at the seaside, that is as similar to French Côte d Azur as two drops of water. Libya that has 2 thousand kilometres of the seashore more than once announced its plans to develop the international tourism. Many large tourist companies believe that in the nearest 10 years Libya has all the chances to become one of the main tourist directions. Iuri Tarabanov writes about interesting travel experiences.
