✅ Scaling up pathways to growth in Ethiopia through investments
...... Says The World Bank.
↳ UNESCO has added 11 Ethiopian sites to its World Heritage List with an additional seven on the tentative list.
↳ Ethiopian food has found a global audience (culinary tourism is an $11 billion market globally!) and Ethiopian Airlines brings the world to Ethiopia’s front door.
↳ Ethiopia saw a near doubling of tourist arrivals from 438,000 in 2010 to 936,000 in 2017.
↳ Driven by improvements in air travel connectivity and a dedicated effort to market Ethiopia as a world-class destination, foreign exchange earnings reached a high of nearly $3.6 billion in 2018, at more than 45% of exports.
↳ In 2019, an estimated 1.9 million jobs were in the tourism sector which generated more than 6% of GDP. 👌
↳ As seen elsewhere across the globe, tourism took a nosedive in Ethiopia during the COVID-19 pandemic. 👇
↳ Though other destinations are now recovering, tourism in Ethiopia continues to struggle as the country grapples with fragility and macroeconomic challenges. A bump in tourists was seen in the aftermath of the 2022 peace accord but tourism receipts fell by more than 6% in 2023 compared to 2022 (UNWTO Barometer).
↳ Some estimates place the cost of the conflict in Ethiopia at $6 billion in productivity losses, which have far-reaching effects.
✅ Why should we focus on tourism investments?
↳ For one, tourism in Ethiopia offers a strong opportunity to create new jobs, support domestic resource mobilization, and contribute to the country’s foreign exchange earnings
↳ Second, Ethiopia has the assets and endowments needed to be a vibrant and popular destination for tourists across multiple segments.
↳ Thirdly, Ethiopia is a large market and well connected to the rest of the world via Addis Ababa and Ethiopian Airlines.
➡️ Tourism offers an opportunity for diversified economic growth, and robust investments now would lay the foundation for future growth.

Unveils $5 Billion Mega Airport Project to Transform Bishoftu into Africa's Premier Aviation Hub.
Ethiopia is set to embark on an ambitious project to construct a $5 billion mega airport in Bishoftu, a town located approximately 39 kilometers southeast of Addis Ababa. This new airport, expected to be one of the largest in Africa, will have the capacity to handle 100 million passengers annually, significantly surpassing the current capacity of Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, which can handle 19 million passengers per year.
The planned facility will cover an area of 35 square miles and is aimed at addressing the rapid growth in passenger traffic experienced by Ethiopian Airlines. The project will be executed in multiple phases and is anticipated to become one of the world’s busiest airports once completed.
The construction of the new airport is part of Ethiopia's broader strategy to enhance its aviation infrastructure and support the expansion of its national carrier, Ethiopian Airlines.
