The Ethiopian Tour Operators Association (ETOA) is pleased to announce the submission of a project concept note titled “Enhanced Safety and Preparedness Training for Ethiopia’s Tourism Workforce in Response to the Melaburge Disease Outbreak and Future Health Threats.”
The concept note has been formally submitted to the Federal Ministry of Tourism, reflecting ETOA’s strong commitment to enhancing the resilience, safety, and operational readiness of Ethiopia’s tourism industry.
The proposed initiative seeks to provide tour operators, guides, drivers, and tourism professionals with comprehensive training in safety protocols, disease prevention, and emergency preparedness. This capacity-building effort is designed to support the sector in effectively responding to the current Melaburge disease outbreak as well as future public health threats.
