Ethiopia's tourism industry has grown by 12% annually over the last 10 years, attracting over 600,000 visitors in 2014. The country aims to welcome 1 million tourists and generate $3 billion in revenue by 2015, which would make it competitive with popular destinations like Tanzania and Kenya. Ethiopia's relative stability compared to its neighbors, along with its focus on promoting its ancient rock churches, hill castles, and rich history and culture, may help it achieve its ambitious tourism goals.
