AGP Executive Report

Last update: 23 minutes ago

Travel Safety: The US Embassy in Addis Ababa has warned of possible long-range attacks and advised US citizens not to travel to Amhara, Tigray or Afar, including Lalibela. The alert comes as reports say Eritrean troops crossed into Tigray and Ethiopian drones struck near Adigrat. Travellers should check official advice and airline updates, as communications and flights may be disrupted. Visitor Payments: Visa and ETTA plan to roll out 148,000 contactless payment devices across Ethiopia, including at shops, restaurants and transport operators—potentially making everyday purchases easier for visitors. Cultural Tourism: Irreecha drew international guests to Ethiopia, showcasing Oromo traditions and strengthening the festival’s appeal as a cultural travel experience.
