Ethiopian Airlines is looking for tour and travel companies to partner in order to boost regional tourism and trade between Uganda and Ethiopia. According to Angessa, promotion of tourism has been minimal as the concentration has been placed on trade and other travels. We are ready to enter partnerships with designated tour and travel operators and ticketing agents to exploit this tourism potential." Angessa who was addressing the airlines travel agents in Kampala further said if need be, the number of flights from Entebbe to Addis Ababa will increase from three to five every day. Angessa said tourists can visit special sites such as the place where the biblical covenant is kept, the Nagashi mosque, ancient buildings and churches of the 12th century.
