“After visiting many places in this country the vast variety from beautiful landscapes and astonishing oasis in the middle of the dessert and the eye-pleasing sites and views in the south and more, I think it’s safe to call Libya a continent instead of a state, and it can be a great location for international tourism as well as local tourism if activated”.

On the 5th of November 2021, the women from LAFICO Malta Representative Office and the Subsidiaries Companies, got together and discussed how to put forth the greatest possible amount of effort and energy towards improving their place of work for the benefit of all the employees.
An important topic discussed, was the increasing number of documents needed to submit the Residence/work permits for the Libyan Officials, online with ‘Identity Malta Agency’. Sometimes these applications take quite a long time to be approved and issued. This matter can create some problems for the LAFICO Officials, while they are seconded to work in Malta.
Virtual meetings, remote working and other changes brought on by the coronavirus pandemic is a challenge to consider flexibility of working from outside the office. However, several studies have pointed out that women can be talked over or ignored during ‘in-person’ meetings. The pandemic is a perfect opportunity for LAFICO company to take a stance in addressing the need for greater gender and racial equity at the place of work.
All of those present at the meeting agreed that similar discussions are to be held more often.
Written by LAFICONovember 1, 2021 A group of tourists guides visited Libya to see how the country is preparing for tourists in the near future.
Libya is opening up to tourists.
For the first time in a decade, a group of around one hundred mostly European tourists have visited the historic oasis town of Ghadames, deep in the desert.
The convoy of vehicles was accompanied by the police to guarantee security.
“They are breaking the barrier of fear among the many admirers of the Libyan desert, thanks to the supporters and the good people, as well as the state, which deployed all its resources from the tourism and interior ministries. As you can see from the escorts that we have, there is high protection”, said the tour guide, Ali al-Kouba.
The visitors arrived via a border crossing with Tunisia which had opened in September after months of closure due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The tour was paid for by the Libyan state in a bid to attract more tourists.
Many, such as this Italian tour operator, are delighted to return to the country.
“Here we are in Ghadames at last, it’s been ten years and we hope to come back to work with clients again in the field of tourism. It went very well, in any case, we were certain that we would be welcomed in this wonderful country”, said Giovanni Paolo, a tour operator and long-time admirer of Libya.
Tripoli sees tourism as a key sector of the economy.

F’din il-laqgħa ġiet imfakkra wkoll l-ħidma kontinwa ta’ Gvern Nazzjonalista fi zmien meta l-Libja kienet ghaddejja mill-waqgħa tad-dittatura ta’ Gaddafi … fejn dak iż-żmien pajjizna rega’ serva bħala infermier tal-Mediterran meta laqa’ lil-Libjani feruti li kienu sfaw vittmi f’dak il-glied.
Bernard Grech saħaq li l-Partit Nazzjonalista kien u jibqa’ favur l-iżvilupp sħiħ tal-pajjiż u l-poplu Libjan f’proċess demokratiku u maqbul, għaliex il-poplu Libjan ħaqqu futur aħjar, f’paci u stabbiltà.

L-ambaxxatur minn naha tieghu kellu kliem ta’ tifhir ghall-Gvern Nazzjonalista immexxi mill-eks Prim Ministru Lawrence Gonzi.
