April 12, 2018
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has inaugurated the Haroo DendiLodge in Oromia, marking a defining chapter in Ethiopia’s “Dine for Generation” initiative.
Rising on the shores of the breathtaking Dendi Crater Lake, the lodge is more than an ecotourism project, it is a renewal of Ethiopia’s modern identity, where architecture breathes in spirit with nature.
The Prime Minister stated, “This is not just construction, it is a covenant with our land and our people. “We magnify the beauty of Dendi for generations to come, while honoring the heritage of the community. It is a sanctuary built to empower humanity and respect the natural earth.”
The lodge stands as proof of promises fulfilled, positioning Ethiopia as a destination to be visited, invested in, and cherished. Tourism, once seen as a sector, is now elevated as a pillar of national growth.
Rooted in the wealth of forefathers and enriched by natural and historical treasures, Haroo Dendi embodies resilience and vision. Tourism becomes a strategic engine for prosperity, cultural pride, and global recognition, anchoring resilience and unity as Ethiopia redefines its future.
Prime Minister Abiy inspired raising symbolism, “We are eagles. We will rise to our heights. We will focus on resilience and achieve our dreams.” Haroo Dendi Lodge is thus unveiled not only as leisure, but as collective aspiration toward national transformation.
