Finchglow Holidays, Nigeria’s premier curated travel and tour experience provider, has partnered Ethiopian Airlines and Ethiopian Holidays to offer Nigerian travellers an unparalleled Ethiopia travel and tourism experience. 

This strategic alliance broadens travel opportunities to Ethiopia, showcasing its rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant cities, while providing the convenience of in-country visa facilitation.

According to Head of Business at Finchglow Holidays, Oluwaseun Afolabi, “Nigerians are now seeking unique experiences, and Ethiopia offers captivating yet underexplored destinations on the continent”. This partnership not only opens doors to these hidden treasures but also fosters deeper cultural exchange between Nigeria and Ethiopia.

Area Manager of Ethiopian Airlines, Firiehiwot Mekonnen, emphasised that Nigeria is a key market for the airline, and this collaboration will strengthen their relationship. Ethiopia offers a wealth of experiences, from UNESCO heritage sites to breathtaking landscapes, and the government is committed to sustainability, investing in eco-friendly lodges and responsible tourism infrastructure.

The partnership involves two Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs): one between Ethiopian Holidays and Finchglow Holidays for tour packages, land excursions, and flights, and another between Ethiopia and Finchglow Holidays for streamlined visa processing. 

Group Managing Director of Finchglow Holdings, Bankole Bernard, highlighted that this partnership solidifies Finchglow Holidays’ position as Nigeria’s leading tour operator and drives innovation in the travel and tourism sector.

By combining world-class tour operations with seamless visa facilitation, Finchglow Holidays and Ethiopian Airlines are redefining African travel and setting a precedent for how African destinations can be marketed, accessed, and experienced.
