Ethiopian Airlines Wins Friends and Influences People Worldwide
by Jerry W. Bird

How many of our under 30 generation have read his books, or even know about Dale Carnegie, I could never guess. Yet this one man's simple concepts have changed millions of lives dramatically and positively for generations, not just in North America, but around the world. In my opinion everyone should read at least one of his inspiring books. Like Napoleon Hill, another author who has inspired folks around the world, he leads by example. The management at Ethiopian Airlines has the type of action-based thinking and 'hands on' approach Carnegie talks about on every page of his best seller, "How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Ethiopia is Voted One of Frommer's Top 12 Travel Destinations for 2007

NEW YORK CITY -- December, 2006 -- Frommer's Travel Guides, one of the world's leaders in travel planning guides and resources, and Frommers.com, an essential online destination for those planning the perfect travel excursions, have announced that Ethiopia is one of the top ten travel destinations for 2007. This year, the editors at Frommer's Travel Guides and Frommers.com scoured the globe and polled their stable of authors and experts to identify twelve surprising, thriving, or emerging travel destinations.

After careful thought and consideration, the editors from Frommer's proclaimed that Ethiopia is one of their top picks of the places not to be missed in 2007. It's important to remember that Frommers.com is the preemminent source that allows thousands of travelers to easily find candid, timely articles written by Frommers.com experts about destinations around the world.

The selection of Ethiopia as one of their top travel destinations is not a surprising choice to us, but it may be to others, but Frommers.com states that Ethiopia is finally emerging out of the shadows caused by years of political strife and economic hardship. Improved infrastructure has made traveling there increasingly popular, especially among independent-minded travelers and those seeking adventure. Ethiopia is revered for its rich history as one of the earliest Christian kingdoms (the town of Axum is said to be the home of the ancient Ark of the Covenant). Visit the monolithic churches of Lalibela -- in particular the Church of St. George, named after Ethiopia's patron saint, which is carved into the shape of a cross from a rock mountain and is perhaps the most exquisite of the monolithic structures. Visitors seeking additional information can refer to ethiopianairlines.com or refer back to frommers.com for their online-only guide to Ethiopia appearing in 2007.

Ethiopian Airlines Offers Exciting NEW Tour Packages

This outstanding recognition by Frommer's continues to help promote that Ethiopia has tremendous cultural and religious appeal for US travelers. Mekonnen Abebe, Director of North America for Ethiopian Airlines said, "Ethiopia is indeed an amazing country with so many wonders and a rich history. I take great pride in seeing that a prestigious travel guide like Frommer's understands so much of what my country offers, and felt that it deserved this tremendous recognition." And with the growing awareness due to stories such as these, more sophisticated travelers will discover Ethiopia, as a country that has intrigued visitors literally since the beginning of time. To help visitors discover the wonders and magic of Ethiopia, Ethiopian Airlines has developed exciting new packages designed with international appeal. The programs and tours feature carefully designed itineraries that make even the most jaded traveler stand up and take notice. The new Ethiopian Airlines packages and tours include 1) The History and Magic of Ethiopia; 2) Ethiopia &endash; The Total Tour: From North to South; 3) Historic Ethiopia & Kenya Safari Tour and 4) Historic North Ethiopia and the Tanzania Expedition.
