🌟 A Champion of Knowledge & Excellence: Heartfelt Tribute to Ato Gezahegn Abate
During our recent landmark Grand General Assembly of the Hotel & Tourism Professionals Mutual Aid Association (Edir), we were deeply honored by the distinguished presence of Ato Gezahegn Abate Gizaw.
Ato Gezahegn stands as a true pillar of Ethiopia’s hospitality and tourism sector. Having previously served as Director of Public & International Relations at the Ministry of Culture & Tourism, he currently serves as the Deputy Director General of the Tourism Training Institute (TTI)—our nation's flagship institution that has been nurturing top-tier hospitality professionals for over 50 years.
Despite his demanding schedule, Ato Gezahegn made it a priority to attend our assembly, demonstrating profound solidarity with our members and the broader hospitality community. His presence is a powerful testament to the strong partnership and shared vision between our Association and TTI.
To Honorable Ato Gezahegn Abate:
On behalf of the entire leadership and membership of our Mutual Aid Association, we extend our highest appreciation for your presence, your inspiring words, and your steadfast commitment to our cause.
Collaborating with premier institutions like TTI under your leadership will undoubtedly accelerate our effort to build professional capacity and elevate hospitality standards across Ethiopia.
