Africa received 62.6 million international tourist arrivals in 2017, only 4.7% of total
international trips worldwide. Sub-Saharan Africa was the destination of 40, 9 million
tourists, that is 65% of the arrivals to the continent In terms of recent evolution,
available data points to a 7% increase in arrivals in 2018 into African countries, bringing
the estimated number of international arrivals to 67 million, although figures cannot be
definitive at this point due to lack of updated info from many countries. In any case, the
67 million would represent 5% of the world’s total arrivals.

were registered in Ethiopia. This figure represents an increase of 7.2% over the previous
year. Ethiopia’s Travel and Tourism economy grew by 48.6% in 2018, the largest of any
country in the world, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) review of
the economic impact and social importance of the sector released, in 2018, Travel and
Tourism contributed BIRR 202 billion US$7.4 billion to the country’s economy, an increase
of BIRR 59 billion (US$2.2bn) on 2001 represents 9.4% of Ethiopia’s total economy. The
WTTC research, which compares the Travel and Tourism sector across 185 countries,
shows that in 2018 the Ethiopian Travel and Tourism sector significantly outpaced the
global growth rate of 3.9%, the African growth rate of 5.6%. Supported 2.2 million jobs,
or 8.3% of total employment, was primarily driven by leisure travellers, 79% of the Travel
and Tourism spending was generated by leisure visitors and 21% from business travellers

and Tourism spending came from international travellers and 23% from domestic
travellers.

contribution of Travel and Tourism. In 2017, Ethiopia
generated ETB 50,447,700 in visitor exports. In 2018, this is
expected to grow by 6.6%, and the country is expected to
attract 1,115,000 international tourist arrivals. By 2028,
international tourist arrivals are forecast to total 1,598,000,
generating expenditure of ETB 79,309,100, an increase of

years to ETB 34,179,500 in 2028. Travel and Tourism’s share
of total national investment will rise from 2.4% in 2018 to
2.7% in 2028.

3.5. Market segment and targeted market
Two very important Target Market Segments are Foreign Tourists and expatriates living in
Ethiopia; primarily in Addis Ababa. Hola Hotel will seek to attract the same market of
travellers that are seeking African safari and nature-based travel experiences. There is a
growing interest in the visitation of the Southern part of Ethiopia by the following niche
market segments:
volunteerism, animal tracking, wildlife research, and university field school groups
• Ecotourists
• Conference participants
In 2010 E.C (2017-2018) 1,976 Ethiopians, 378 foreigners residing in Ethiopia and 3,331
foreign tourists visited Southern part of Ethiopia (Source: EWCA). The Park is among the
poorly managed in the Ethiopian parks system, yet it is easy for weekend destinations from
Addis Ababa. Mwki is around two and half hour drive from Addis Ababa and therefore a
much more viable options for Addis-based expatriates.
The marketing strategy will effectively position the hotel as the leading authentic brand
hotel in Ethiopia. Promotional activities include the development and distribution of various
10 | P a g e
marketing tools that will address the needs of a variety of users, including independent
travelers, for both international and domestic market and clients on guided group trips:
• Group and independent travelers will book and will utilize social media and other online
multi-media resources;
• The travel trade will require sell sheets with product information, sales manuals as well
as website content (photos, videos and descriptions) to effectively promote the
destination; and
• The press will need facts sheets, story ideas, press releases and a high quality
multimedia library in order to profile the destination.
The current collateral materials will be upgraded to suit the current status of the hotel.
The look and feel of the designs will be consistent across all campaigns in order to create
brand recognition among consumers, travel trade and partners.
3.7.1. Customer/product
The current and potential customers of the hotel are already indicated elsewhere in the
document and it is necessary to absolutely follow the taste of the customer in matching
the product with the customers’ need that might change from time to time. Ensuring the
satisfaction of customers is of paramount importance. It will be necessary to deal with the
quality of the product from production to supplying to the customer with due consideration
of sustainable development.
3.7.2. Cost/price
Cost and price are at the centre of the marketing strategy. Cost effective production
philosophy will be followed through conservation of energy and other inputs so as to
provide value for money. It is based on the philosophy of People, Planet and Profit (PPP).
The price structure will ensure the anticipated benefit of the product and that it has good
value for money.
3.8. Communication/promotion
3.8.1. Marketing goals
The hotel will measure the success of the marketing strategy via a number of measurable
targets including:
11 | P a g e
1) To become the top hotel listed on Trip Advisor for Ethiopia,
2) To achieve coverage in 10 editorials per year,
3) To achieve 1,000 web visits per day by the year 2022 to from the current very low
visits, and
4) To achieve the following target occupancy rates and revenue (in Birr):
3.8.2. Distribution
Custom strategies will be developed for the following distinct distribution channels, with a
significant emphasis on tour operator distribution. Sales will be driven from an office in
Addis Ababa. Activities will include development of tools such as sales manuals, web-based
seminars (webinars) to educate the trade, development of regular electronic fliers to
inform trade of specials, niche packages (e.g., honeymoon and hiking packages).
The occupancy targets listed in the previous section will be achieved by pursuing a mix of:
• Direct bookings
• Travel Agent and group bookings (10 – 15% commission)
• Tour Operators bookings (20 – 25% commission during the low season, while 10% in high
season)
12 | P a g e
The level of commission paid has an inverse relation to the income generating value of the
group, i.e. direct bookings create the most value and cost no commission so are therefore
attractive, however Ethiopia, and Africa in general typically require some level of tour
operator or travel agent support to manage logistics for trip-planning and as such they are
a critical partner in marketing and sales.

(meeting planners, wedding planners, yoga/wellness groups, France, Holland, Belgium,
Germany, etc.).

3.8.3. Promotion
The marketing mix to promote Awash Falls Lodge will include the following promotional
activities:
Branding
Currently, the Lodge has its own Logo as a brand to differentiate it from the rest of the
lodges in the country and in the area of Awash National Park.
Travelers today rely heavily upon the Internet and other electronic resources to research
and book their vacations. The promotional plan incorporates innovative marketing tools
that will position the properties as a leading lodge brand in Ethiopia and Africa, attracting
the rapidly growing market of technology savvy travelers. All Internet marketing activities
will incorporate search engine optimization (SEO) to increase the search ranking of
keyword dense phrases relevant to lodges in Africa and Ethiopia. All sales sources can, in
some way, be positively influenced by increased Internet presence.
Hola Dibo Hotel has already an exposure through its own website. However, the website
will be redone to showcase dynamic, large images, embedded video and will have industry
standard keyword and key-phrase density to promote the hotel internationally. Web-
linking and back-linking is a powerful method that will also be used to increase web
presence. Press and travel trade sections will also be features of the website.
14 | P a g e
find Google AdWords to be one of their most important and cost effective forms of
marketing.
Social Media
A social media strategy will encourage travelers to share their experiences and purchases
with friends and family through sites such as Face book, Twitter, and YouTube.
Word of mouth promotion is a popular source of information for travel planning. Social
media is a marketing tool gaining increasing importance to share these word-of-mouth
recommendations electronically via the Internet. Target sites will include but are not
limited to:
YouTube.com: youtube.com has been named the number two (after Google)
online search engine for travel research on the Internet. Awash Lodge channel will
include a combination of existing raw video footage and eventually more developed
commercial-type 30-second videos of the lodge.
Updating the postings quarterly with new photos, video and fresh descriptions
15 | P a g e
Upgrading to a paid listing to allow direct link for travelers to the website
Run monthly comparative analysis with all lodges and competitors
Insert widgets on the website
Monitoring trip advisor weekly and coordinate with operations team to adjust
service when needed. Negative reviews can be responded to with Trip Advisor’s
“Manager’s Response.”
The photographer will also deliver professional quality, high-resolution images of nearby
attractions that appeal to primary and secondary target markets and capture the essence
of both The Awash National Park and Awash Lodge and to make marketing collateral and
tools more visually appealing. The key activities related to the photo collection include:
16 | P a g e
Online Forums: Online forums are another way people get information and ask
questions about activities and Hotels. Most forums have search capabilities to help
people find specific topics or destinations. Hola Hotel will be registered on various
forums, utilizing the search function to find recent entries regarding Ethiopia or
activities to do with nature and culture based tourism in general. Many forums have
rules against directly advertising for a business or hotel, therefore responses to
inquiries should be given as suggestions from travellers.
www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/ www.Realtravel.com
www.travelpod.com www.travellerspoint.com
Blogs: Branded blog will be developed using Word Press (a free platform) and will
provide an outlet for sharing wildlife sightings by lodge staff and guests. The blog
will consist of approximately one-paragraph engaging story of what was seen and a
photo or video clip of either the wildlife sighting from the guest or from the photo
archive. Each week wildlife and culture will be featured. A model from an award-
winning ecolodge blog is: www.blog.laparios.comn Results will be monitored using
Google Analytics and other tools.
Collateral Development
Print collateral materials are currently in use but will be limited in size, with a call-to-
action for reading more information on the website. This follows growing industry trends
and both reduce cost and minimize the negative environmental impact of high quantities of
print materials. Materials include:
I. Sell sheets developed into a sales manual for trade outreach including sales calls,
trade shows, etc.;
II. Postcard-size brochures showcasing the lodge for trade shows or events;
17 | P a g e
III. Business card-sized cards for departing guests with manager’s email address,
logo of the lodge, web address and invitation to post on trip advisor, Flickr, Facebook,
twitter and YouTube will be a simple, yet effective marketing tool to help encourage
more online content to be constantly posted about the lodge; and
IV. Photo book of the hotel that is placed in the reception of the hotel and also given
to important travel trade contacts. Photo albums at the front desk of the hotel will be
excellent marketing tools to help showcase the Lodge to visitors. These books can be
developed quite inexpensively using online book publishing companies such as Mac’s I-
Photo books. Since they can be customized easily, they are also a good idea for
incentives and gifts for tour operators and other trade professionals.
Positive media coverage raises awareness about destinations and experiences and can lead
to direct leads and enquiries. Journalists and media outlets are approached constantly by
destinations and tourism providers asked to feature their products, so it is important to
have a carefully targeted approach to gain their attention.
Media outreach
Media outreach activities will be timed to coincide with product development launches,
travel trade events and festivals to maximize success. The media activities would be
guided by the following steps.
Print, online and broadcast media outlets will be targeted. Specific categories of outlets
to be targeted include:
18 | P a g e
Development of creative and interesting story ideas will be valuable for use in targeting
pitches to the above niche travel publications. Themes from the various community tourism
products will be used along with story ideas related to current popular themes such as
birding, adventure travel, Ethiopia as an alternative safari destination, romantic getaways,
cuisine, cultural performances, handcrafts, travel philanthropy and volunteerism. The story
ideas will be built upon and continually updated as new story ideas and angles emerge.
With a strong, fact-based foundation in place, the next step is to become active in
generating media coverage through a number of activities.
Press Releases and Proactive Editorial Placement – Delivering stories to the Right
Journalists:
news along the themes of story ideas that were developed in Step 2.
Press releases would be sent to the most relevant media outlets along with personalized
emails and phone calls to help encourage them to feature stories in their publications. For
example, wedding and honeymoon stories about romantic safari getaways will target major
honeymoon/wedding magazine and newspaper wedding and travel columns in target
geographic markets.
Press Visits: Bringing the best media to visit the Lodge will increase local and
international media coverage. There is no substitute for seeing the product first
hand so arranged press visits are extremely important to create allies in the
industry and generate editorial content. The focus will be on quality rather than
quantity - attracting media outlets with the most targeted reach to key market
segments.
Select journalists and media outlets from the target list would be invited to visit the
Lodge to experience the products that would be of the most interest to their story angles.
Working closely with airlines such as Ethiopian Airlines a tailored itinerary would be
19 | P a g e
developed for each journalist. Complimentary or discounted trip contributions will be
requested from the airlines or destination marketing organizations to significantly offset
the costs of the press trips, otherwise media would be expected to cover their own
flights. Following press visits, it is critical to follow up with each journalist to ensure
favorable editorial placement.
Develop Online and hard copy press kit for distribution to media representatives at special
events, festivals, trade shows and during press trips. This kit will consist of a branded
folder, facts sheets, circuit sell sheets, press releases, story ideas and a USB stick or link
to URL where high-resolution images can be downloaded.
Travel Trade Placement/Outreach: The travel trade plays a critical role to the
promotion and sales of community tourism products. Promotion will include the following
activities:
• Package Promotion
20 | P a g e
Travel trade collateral including sell sheets, sales manuals and website content will be
distributed to targeted regional, national and international travel agencies and tour
operators both electronically and in person, at travel shows and events and during sales
calls. Consideration will be given to the markets and niche segments that the trade is
selling to, in order to customize the outreach in a way that will generate interest in
promoting the packages to their clients, e.g., birding packages will be promoted to
specialty birding operators, romantic add-ons promoted to honeymoon travel agents and
wedding planners, etc.
Specialized and niche trade will be targeted and invited for group tour operator
familiarization (FAM) trips in order to provide them with a better understanding of the
destination, so they can begin promoting it to their clients. FAM tours will be organized in
close partnership of the tourism board and airlines to customize itineraries.
Complimentary or discounted trip component contributions will be requested from the
private sector partners including airlines, tour operators, lodges and day trip experiences
with the community tourism enterprises. This will significantly offset the costs of the
trips. Following press visits, it is critical to follow up with each journalist to ensure
favorable editorial placement.
Specialized seminars and online webinars will help educate trade about both the
destination and the hotels, including Hola hotel. Webinar presentations will target
specialty tour operators and travel agents in an hour-long webinar presentation. In some
cases direct presentation would be made to individual groups and tour operator
associations. The webinars would be saved and archived online for future reference and
maximum exposure to travel trade representatives.
21 | P a g e
primary target markets are European, it is critical to attend these events and cultivate
relationships with travel agents and tour operators, encouraging them to present and sell
Hola hotel to their clients.
With the emphasis placed on direct contact and face-to-face interactions on product
features, destination access, and attractions, trade shows provide a real time event that
will significantly position the hotel in the international tourism marketplace.
The success of the trade show plan relies upon choosing the most relevant events that will
reach the target market trade representatives and consumers. Trade show attendance will
be organized in close coordination with the tourism board, airlines, as well as individual
contacts to negotiate sharing booth space or book adjacent booth space and coordinating
visits with key trade contacts. Potential shows to consider attending include but are not
limited to the following:
a) Database development of email list serves with embassies, expatriate groups and
website, etc.
22 | P a g e
I. For each niche market targeted a cost-effective strategy will be developed and get
cross-promoted in the Public Relations activities to feed back into/generate PR/CSR
benefits.
II. Festivals and Special Events: Festivals and events are known to attract visitor and
create destination awareness. Cultural and wildlife focused events will be developed and
promoted for the park and will help to generate bookings and occupancy in shoulder
seasons.
III. Repeat Business – Customer Relationship Management (CRM) records and databases for effective
client communications will be critical to maintain and electronic newsletters and e-fliers will help
encourage repeat business.
