In the wake of the Libyan civil war comes a surprising revelation–tourists.
UK tour company Political Tours is behind the latest “political tour” throughout the war zone. In addition to Libya, they offer tours to the Balkans and North Korean.
The group visits one of the dozens of families who have moved into [Muammar] Gadhafi’s former compound for free housing. They ask about life before and after the revolution, hearing firsthand the hopes and fears of ordinary Libyans. For now – no one feels they’re in danger. [The] Group has received a warm welcome by Libyans who are eager and free to tell their stories.
