Ethiopian Airlines launches package tours
Ethiopian Airlines has launched Ethiopian Holidays, a programme of special inclusive tours to the country.
Launched at World Travel Market this week, the programme includes cultural tours in the South, adventurous explorations including trekking in the famous Bale Mountains, bird watching holidays and trips to religious festivals.
From five to 16 nights’ long, holidays will go on sale from January 2015.
Ethiopian Airlines is also offering a 40% discount on its domestic flights to passengers flying into its Addis Ababa hub on its long haul flights.
Destination Store has been appointed to promote and sell the holidays in the UK on the airline’s behalf.
Michael Yared, Ethiopian Airlines country manager UK and Ireland, said: "We have a growing and strong customer base in the UK already taking advantage of our daily Boeing 787 Dreamliner services from London Heathrow to Addis and beyond.
"This complementary offering for the leisure market enables us to showcase the diversity of our country with a range of attractive holiday packages that further enhances the tourism flow to Ethiopia – the cradle of civilization."
