Ethiopian Airlines Group, the leading carrier in Africa, has embarked on a strategic collaboration with the Prime Minister’s Office, aimed at enhancing the tourism sector in Ethiopia.
The airline, through its Ethiopian Skylight Hotel, will manage and operate four new eco-lodges under the ‘Dine for Ethiopia’ initiative.
This partnership was officially sealed with a memorandum of understanding signed in a ceremony in Addis Ababa. Ethiopian Skylight Hotel is set to oversee the operations of Chebera Churchura Elephant Paw Lodge, Halala Kella Lodge, Gorgora Ecolodge, and Wonchi EcoLodge. These lodges are part of a broader effort to elevate the tourism experience in Ethiopia.
Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mesfin Tasew said, “Tourism and air transport services are closely related industries. In addition to transporting passengers and cargo, Ethiopian Airlines has been working at a high level to promote tourism in our country. We are delighted to join hands with the Prime Minister’s Office to elevate the hospitality experience in Ethiopia.
