Ethiopia is blessed with abundant natural tourist attractions, including nine World Heritage Sites,[4] but the Ministry of Culture and Tourism still struggles to attract tourists in decent numbers owing to poor investment, security, and does not have any cohesive tourism development or promotion strategy. As a result most tourists fly over Ethiopia to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa to name a few countries. Nevertheless the Ministry puts out regular press releases every year claiming 800-950,000+ tourist have visited Ethiopia every year,[5][6][7] despite Ethiopia having only about 3000 hotel rooms, and of that only 2000 are tourist class rooms.
