Ethiopia has emerged as a center of growth in Africa, both economically and as a tourist and business destination. It is among the world’s fastest growing economies with a centuries-old history and a natural beauty unique to eastern Africa. Custom university travel to Ethiopia can deliver programs that explore this nation on the brink.
We believe this kind of learning experience demands a unique travel itinerary, and that’s why we specialize in customized travel programs. Whether its J-term, spring break, May-mester, etc., our program development team, alongside our Global Academic Team, will consult with you to translate your curriculum into a one-of-a-kind learning experience that will deliver the educational outcome you’re looking for. From selecting your destination to identifying interactive experiences that bring your classroom to life, our thematic approach ensures that your goals drive every decision we make together.
Once your program is developed, you’ll work directly with an account manager who will be your champion, working directly with our large team of logistical experts, curriculum specialists, and on-the-ground partners. Our long-time university partners see their account managers as an integral part of their own university teams, ensuring that your program is uniquely yours each and every year.

Rapid GDP growth has attracted foreign investment, and bolstered government support for upgrading vital road and air infrastructure. Meet with business leaders to see how they adapt to increased transportation capacity, and a growing, dynamic domestic economy.
With more than 80% of the population employed in agriculture, Ethiopia depends on foreign demand for agricultural products and good harvests to prop up GDP. Study the long-term implications of climate change and dependence on foreign exports for domestic economic stability.
As agricultural productivity increases, the light manufacturing sector in Ethiopia has grown, parallel with demand for agricultural products and textiles. Landlocked and economically dependent on exports, Ethiopia must rely on foreign ports for distribution. Consider the geopolitical challenges of accommodating increased foreign demand and export capacity.
Ethiopia compares to Scandinavia in terms of income-inequality levels, ranking as one of the lowest in the world. Despite these strides, Ethiopia is still one of the poorest countries in the world, in part due to its rapid population growth and dependence on commodities, which leaves the economy vulnerable to climatic hazards and shifts in global prices. For example, the decrease in oilseed and gold prices negatively affected the economy in 2015, though economic activity as a whole stayed strong.
In 2015, the European Council on Tourism and Trade ranked Ethiopia the world’s best tourist destination. The country is impressively home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites!
