The World Bank is lending Ethiopia 35 million dollars (25 million euros) to boost tourism, state-media said on Thursday.
The money will go to projects that include "destination, market and institutional developments, capacity building and implementation support, and results monitoring," the Ethiopian News Agency said, quoting a bank statement.
Ethiopia attracted slightly more than 300,000 visitors in 2007, more than double the 148,000 who came in 2001, according to official figures. The sector accounts for around 15 percent of foreign currency earnings.
