Lonely
Planet, the global travel and guidebook company, has named Addis Ababa as one
of the top ten cities in the world to visit in 2013.
The
capital is placed 9th in its Best in Travel 2013 edition and is the only
African city to appear in the top ten. The Ethiopian metropolis and diplomatic
hub, renowned for its rapid development, is highlighted as best for culture,
food and value for money.
Lonely
Planet said that "destinations make the list for a variety of reasons,
including special events, recent developments or buzz, or that the destination
is up-and-coming and worth visiting before the crowds get too big". The
annual list is compiled on the basis of the views of the company's staff,
writers and online community. Addis Ababa, this year, is celebrating the 125th
anniversary of its foundation.
That is good news that I have heard about Ethiopia. The country very successfully has got out of that 80s famine effects. Now its economy is growing. Tourism is definitely playing a leading role. Companies like Reliance Travels UK has started to offer cheap flights to Addis Ababa and other tourist destinations. This number 10 will certainly increase profits for the airlines.
