Ethiopia has been named one of the seven major tourism destinations in the world for the post- COVID-19 period by Forbes.com.
It is the only African country to make the list.
The list stated that the seven countries have yet to become world-class destinations but they have “all the right ingredients” people will want from a destination in the post-COVID world: pristine natural beauty, historic ruins and fascinating cultural experiences.
