During the press conference that followed, H.E. Teshome Toga said the Government of Ethiopia has re-organized the tourism sector based on the Ethiopian tourism policy. A new tourism brand called \u201cLand of Origins\u201d was also established. This new brand and tourism policy will support the promotion of the Ethiopian tourism sector and contribute to the economic and social development of the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ambassador also briefed the participants on the current situation of Ethiopia. In the wake of last year\u2019s unrests, the flow of tourism had temporarily decreased. However, after the state of emergency entered into force on the 8th of October 2016, the inflow of tourists increased again.\u00a0Moreover, the FDI and international and regional engagements of the country were fully maintained.\u00a0This is the sign that Ethiopia is peaceful and that the situation is convenient for tourism. Accordingly, the Embassy has organized this tourism roadshow with the Ethiopian Tourism Organization, an institution mandated to promote the Ethiopian tourism industry, and with the Benelux office of Ethiopian Airlines.<\/p>\n<style>.eic-frame-7747 { width: 500px; height:500px; background-color: #444444; border: 4px solid #444444; }.eic-frame-7747 .eic-image { border: 4px solid #444444; }<\/style><div class=\"eic-container\"><div class=\"eic-frame eic-frame-7747 eic-frame-4-squares\" data-layout-name=\"4-squares\" data-orig-width=\"500\" data-orig-border=\"4\" data-ratio=\"1\"><div class=\"eic-cols\"><div class=\"eic-col eic-child-1\" style=\"top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 50%; width: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-rows\"><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-1\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 50%; height: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-0\" data-size-x=\"381\" data-size-y=\"254\" data-pos-x=\"-78\" data-pos-y=\"-14\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethiopianembassy.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9364-600x400.jpg\" style=\"width: 381px !important;height: 254px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: -78px !important;top: -14px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"IMG_9364\" alt=\"IMG_9364\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-2\" style=\"bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; top: 50%; height: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-2\" data-size-x=\"381\" data-size-y=\"254\" data-pos-x=\"-63.5\" data-pos-y=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethiopianembassy.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9372-600x400.jpg\" style=\"width: 381px !important;height: 254px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: -63.5px !important;top: 0px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"IMG_9372\" alt=\"IMG_9372\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"eic-col eic-child-2\" style=\"top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 50%; width: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-rows\"><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-1\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 50%; height: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-1\" data-size-x=\"381\" data-size-y=\"254\" data-pos-x=\"-63.5\" data-pos-y=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethiopianembassy.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9356-600x400.jpg\" style=\"width: 381px !important;height: 254px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: -63.5px !important;top: 0px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"IMG_9356\" alt=\"IMG_9356\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"eic-row eic-child-2\" style=\"bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; top: 50%; height: 50%;\"><div class=\"eic-image eic-image-4\" data-size-x=\"381\" data-size-y=\"254\" data-pos-x=\"-63.5\" data-pos-y=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethiopianembassy.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9381-600x400.jpg\" style=\"width: 381px !important;height: 254px !important;max-width: none !important;max-height: none !important;position: absolute !important;left: -63.5px !important;top: 0px !important;padding: 0 !important;margin: 0 !important;border: none !important;\" title=\"IMG_9381\" alt=\"IMG_9381\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr. Jemal Kidir, Deputy CEO\u00a0of the Ethiopian Tourism Organization\u00a0on his part said the government has taken the political decision of re-organizing the tourism sector with better capacity to develop the tourism industry.
