Hawassa; a destination with immense potential for tourism development

Hawassa, the capital city of the newly established Sidama National Regional State, is located south of Addis Ababa on estimated 260km distance. The city is a home for immense tourism resources that can attract tourists. Lake Hawassa, one of the most studied rift valley lake, Fiche Chambalalla (the Sidama People new year), Tabor Mountain are just few to mention. Hawassa is a city contains large number of star rated hotels which can accommodate large number of customers. These establishments have hosted some of mega events which shows the capacity the city owns in the area of hospitality. Some of the finest name in the area of hospitality can be mentioned including, Haile Resort, Rori Hotel, Lewi Resort, South Star international Hotel, Central Hawassa Hotel, Kerawi International Hotel, Ker-Awud Hotel and many more. These service providing institution is one of the plus factor for tourism development in the city.

The city's tourism development can be rated one of the lowest compared with the immense potentials it contains. One reason can be security condition related to the quest for statehood of the Sidama people. The other reason is failure to promote the resource for domestic and international market. Observing the tourist flow, the city is popular for domestic tourism. Though this is something to not underestimate, the city need to be promoted for international market so that the sector better contributes for job creation and economic development. Structured at regional level, Sidama is in a position to design its own marketing strategy to better market the tourism potential of the city in particular and the region at large.

What Will Make Ethiopia Smarter; Diversity or Politics or Conflict or Work ?

We Ethiopian's were the origin of human being, very advanced in civilization and technology. Ethiopia is a region that has a long history. That invent, created and built different miracle events and things. We can say a lot when we see Aksum, Lalibela, amazing ancient Ethiopian mathematical calculation and geez written documents this are few examples to list there are a lot of things that have been done. Nevertheless, Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa and one of the most ancient nation in the world. how about now? Where does all our previous knowledge's , skills, and competencies are vanished? So were did all this gone let's everyone ask ourself.

Nowadays everyone became a politician, politics is a dirty game as a two side of one coin that has positive & negiative consequence which is resulted from every steps we are moving and making. Even if we may have different way of perception, philosophy, ideology, speculation, comprehension, and solipsism.We human beings are rational creatures that move every single steps based on facts or reason rather than by emotions or feelings. So before supporting or following we have to see different directions for not benefiting a group of selfish individuals who are atrocious and thinks inhuman. So Why we are giving our time and knowledge that we don't know or yet sure, It is better to emphasize in our engaged professions & duties.

Diversity is key for innovation, creation, and fabricate new ideas and things. Diversity can improve the bottom line of our crux of problems and situations from simple to sophisticated by breaking through and figure out, unriddle and solve out. We Ethiopians have a lot of diversified peoples with knowledge's and skills, virgin-land rich of resource, potential tourism area. We have to learn from developed countries. One example is united state, which is more racially and ethnically diverse. This diversity enables US to be more developed and advanced country in the world such as in economy, technology, and science.

Are we globalized now or we are on the way? Is our way of thinking, judgment are intelligent and super smart to deal with others? so if we first discuss globalization, it is a process of interrelation and interaction between people, companies, and governments at global level or worldwide. cultural globalization which refer to the transfer and spread of idea, norms, knowledge styles, religions, technologies, and languages with which people associate their individual and collective cultural identities, diffused through internet, media (television, radio,- - ), and different transportation modes.

So we have to enhance our cultural globalization by transfer and spread our idea, knowledge, skills, and technologies with others and consolidating individual and collective cultural identities through minimizing our disparities and roll up our cross-cultural contacts and cultural diffusion. As a result this stirring and circulation of cultures allows individuals to partake in outstretching social interaction and relationship that cross beyond and spread further from the sphere of local or regional to national or global borders rather than diminishing, diminution, and abridge our playing filed sphere.
