{{Main|Tourism in Libya}}
The tourism industry was heavily hit by the [[2011 Libyan Civil War|Libyan Civil War]]. Before the war tourism was developing, with 149,000 tourists visiting Libya in 2004, rising to 180,000 in 2007, although this still only contributed less than 1% of the country's GDP. There were 1,000,000 day visitors in the same year.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.un-ilibrary.org/economic-and-social-development/annual-review-of-developments-in-globalization-and-regional-integration-in-the-arab-countries-2007_b9466ffc-en |title=Annual Review of Developments in Globalization and Regional Integration in the Arab Countries, 2007 |publisher=UN |year=2013 |isbn=9789210557740 |series=Annual Review of Developments in Globalization and Regional Integration in the Arab Countries |page=21 |doi=10.18356/b9466ffc-en |access-date=2018-03-11 |archive-date=3 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180603052840/https://www.un-ilibrary.org/economic-and-social-development/annual-review-of-developments-in-globalization-and-regional-integration-in-the-arab-countries-2007_b9466ffc-en |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Tripoli, Libya – A Prosperous Prospect. - Tuesday, 23rd September 2008 at 4Hoteliers |url=http://www.4hoteliers.com/4hots_fshw.php?mwi=3375 |access-date=2012-03-11 |publisher=4hoteliers.com |archive-date=16 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216232014/http://www.4hoteliers.com/4hots_fshw.php?mwi=3375 |url-status=live }}</ref> The country is best known for its ancient Greek and Roman ruins and Sahara desert landscapes.
