Hello,

Welcome to our first newsletter of the new year which comes with positive news from SimienEcoTours: we finally got the sustainability certification!

SimienEcoTours is sustainability certified!

We're delighted to announce that as pioneers among the Ethiopian tour operators for sustainability, we’re the only second Ethiopian tour operator certified by Travelife with the highest sustainability award of Travelife: the certification which confirms our excellence in sustainability and fulfilment of more that 270 sustainability criteria, on which we were working for over 2 years.

We're happy to participate in the official award ceremony taking place at the ITB in Berlin on Tuesday, 7th March at 16:30-17:30h in hall 4.1b. You all are invited to pass by!
We're at ITB Berlin travel trade fair

After the cancellation of the ITB in Berlin, the most important travel trade fair for tourism, for 3 consecutive years due to the pandemic, this exhibition will again take place in Berlin from March 7 to 9. SimienEcoTours' manager Marco Degasper and the sales representative for the Italian, Spanish and French speaking market Lorenzo Mazzoni will be present in Berlin on all these days. So please get in touch with us if you are there as well, it would be nice to catch up after such a long time. Book an appointment with us here:
National Geographic lists SimienEcoTours

In December we were happy to see that we have been listed and recommended on National Geographic, precisely in this article. Ethiopia is listed here as 1st destination for travels in January, and under “Sustainable tip” you find a reference and link to our company. Click on the photo to read the article.

New attractive group tours in different languages

For all single travelers who want to join a group in the season 2023/24, we have new offers you might be interested in. This classical trip to the north (excluding Tigray) and a quick stop in Langano in the Rift Valley might be the most attractive one, offered with totally 10 departures and 5 different languages (EN, DE, FR, ES, IT). The group tour is guaranteed starting from 4 people and has a price of less that 2,000 Euro, all details here:

Possibilities to help crisis affected people in Ethiopia

Now that there is a peace deal in place for the Tigray conflict and the region is again accessible, we can see the full extent of the damages that occurred. In case someone wants to help those affected from this war, we can assure you that we have safe channels so that donations can be used properly for the people in need. You just need to get in touch with us and we’ll find arrangements. Our priority is the support of destroyed schools and health facilities in the border areas between Tigray and Amhara region.

Hope to hear you soon

Feel free to get in touch with us, we’d be happy to hear news from you as well.
Best regards from Ethiopia,


Marco & the team of SimienEcoTours
