Abstract

Tourists come to Libya for two reasons: to admire the antiquities and/or to experience the natural wonders of the desert. The flow of tourists in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has been very variable, depending on political circumstances. As a result, the availability of authoritative guidebooks to the antiquities has also been variable. During the years immediately prior to the 2011 revolution, the Society for Libyan Studies has promoted the publication of new Libya Archaeological Guides, both in English for foreign visitors and (progressively) in Arabic for the benefit of the Libyan population.

دعم السياحة الثقافية في ليبيا - تاريخ موجز

فيليب كينريك

يأتي السياح إلى ليبيا لسببين : لإعجابهم بالآثار و/أو مشاهدة العجائب الطبيعية للصحراء. و قد كان تدفق السياح متقلباً جدا في القرنين العشرين والحادي والعشرين، و ذلك اعتمداً على الظروف السياسية. ونتيجة لذلك، فإن توفر الأدلة السياحية الموثوقة عن هذه الآثار كان أيضاً متقلب . خلال السنوات التي سبقت ثورة 2011 مباشرة، قامت جمعية الدراسات الليبية بالترويج لنشر الأدلة الأثرية الليبية الجديدة، باللغتين الإنجليزية للزوار الأجانب و باللغة العربية (بالتدريج ) لصالح المجتمع الليبي .
