A collaborative roundtable discussion was organized this week in Dubai highlighting Tourism opportunities in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Consulate in Dubai and Ethiopian Airlines collaborated to organize the event, according to information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia (MFAE).
“The discussion sought to establish a platform for well-known tour operators in the United Arab Emirates to integrate Ethiopia into their tour packages,” the Ministry said.
Over 15 businesses in the tourism industry – apparently operating from Dubai, have attended the event.
Aklilu Kebede is Ethiopia’s Consul General in Dubai. He invited tour operators to seize tourism opportunities in Ethiopia, and interested them in natural, historical and cultural destinations in the country.
Head of the Economic Diplomacy Department of the consulate, Asmelash Bekele, talked about “newly developed tourist destinations and supportive government policies.”
The Ethiopian Airlines, represented by Solomon Begashaw, Area Manager of Ethiopian Airlines Dubai office, seized the opportunity to highlight flight packages available to clients from Dubai.
The update from the MFAE also indicated that “plans for a Familiarization Trip aimed at showcasing Ethiopia’s tourism attractions and fostering investment,” but no further detail was given about it.
