USAID Ethiopia Sustainable Tourism

 

 Ethiopia Sustainable Tourism strategy seeks to reduce poverty through market responsive enterprise development and sharing of profits within communities. Additionally the strategy aims to provide higher education and economic opportunity through the training and capacity-building that accompany tourism development. To that end our team developed and delivered a training of trainers in the Awassa region. The workshop benefited attendees from all over the country whose communities or customers sought to benefit from the tourism industry.

During the workshop, attendees learned leadership skills, training and facilitation techniques, communication skills and adult learning theory. These news skills allowed the beneficiaries to return to their communities with the ability to impart valuable knowledge on how to access the tourism market in a manner that is sustainable and relevant an adult constituency.
