require utmost knowledge and skills. Practicable philosophies about people, economics, finance,
management, culture, and political ideology are essential.
Tireless training of the staff, adequate budgeting and investment on technology, comprehensive technology

branding within a license and positive discourse market competitions are very crucial to run a safe,
secured and prosperous hospitality business

God; little attention to structured and organized operation hinders the development of the hospitality
and tourism business across the country. Nevertheless, there appears to be promising endeavor being
undertaken by different governmental and private organizations working on the development of the sector
in Ethiopia.Our Editor-in-Chief AklileTsigespeaks to heads of organizations that are playing key roles in
the industry.
