"What makes us different from the neighboring countries like Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda is that our attractions are not just nature and wildlife, but they are much diversified," notes Mrs Moges. Her company Travel Ethiopia, which she established in 1994, is distinct from other tour operators because of Mrs Moges' tourism background and the company's "woman-led" character. Among others, Mrs Moges discusses the role of Travel Ethiopia and explains why she does not believe in receiving aid. For the future, Travel Ethiopia wants to branch out and open offices in the various attraction sites throughout Ethiopia.
