Ethiopian Office of the Prime Minister transferred Thursday ‘Dine for Ethiopia’ projects to the Amhara, Oromia and South West Region.
The office also conducted a signing ceremony for the management and operation agreement of the 'Dine for Ethiopia' lodges, by Ethiopian Airlines, operating under its renowned Skylight Hotel brand.
The office said in a statement it issued Thursday morning, “Today marks a significant milestone for the ‘Dine for Ethiopia’ projects spearheaded by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.”
It is to be recalled that three of the four projects (Halala Kella Lodge; Chebera Churchura Elephant Paw Lodge and Wonchi Eco Lodge) have been recently inaugurated, with the Gorgora project completion and inauguration in the pipeline.
"The 'Dine for Ethiopia' initiative aimed to bolster tourism, a cornerstone of our national homegrown economic reform program," the office said.
These projects rallied public support during the financing stage, generated numerous jobs during construction, and kickstarted extensive infrastructure development.
“They stand as symbols of innovative project management and swift completion. Entrusting their operation and management to our national flag carrier, Ethiopian Airlines, promises not only enhanced service but also an avenue for international tourism promotion,” the statement emphasized.
