Addis Ababa, February 7, 2026 (FMC) – The Logo Hayk Resort in South Wollo has been inaugurated, a development described by Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Trunehy as a major step in strengthening tourism, generating employment, and promoting social cohesion in the region.
The resort was developed under the Dine for Generations initiative and reflects a broader government strategy to unlock Ethiopia’s tourism potential across all regions.
Temesgen highlighted the historical and cultural significance of Wollo, noting the region’s long-standing reputation for resilience, scholarship, and a unique tradition of peaceful coexistence between Muslim and Christian communities.
He said the resort is not only a modern tourism destination but also a symbol of unity, demonstrating how development can reinforce Ethiopia’s shared heritage and social cohesion.
The 13.3-hectare resort features a multi-storey hotel complex, landscaped greenery, fruit zones, swimming pools, restaurants, bars, a wellness spa, a multi-purpose hall, and a helicopter pad. The infrastructure is designed to provide domestic and international visitors with a world-class experience while stimulating local economic activity.
According to Temesgen, Logo Hayk Resort will generate employment for local youth, create business opportunities, and serve as a transit corridor, connecting visitors to South Wollo’s natural attractions and historical sites.
He emphasized that the project transforms the region’s natural and historical resources into shared economic benefits, supporting both social and economic development.
The deputy prime minister further described the resort as a platform to showcase Ethiopia’s cultural and natural wealth to the world, reflecting a nation that is confident, welcoming, and anchored in its values.
He noted that the project illustrates the government’s approach of integrating infrastructure development with environmental sustainability, social inclusivity, and cultural promotion.
“By turning the blessings of nature and history into shared prosperity, the resort embodies a culture of work that honors the past while building the future,” Temesgen said, adding that under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, similar initiatives are being implemented across other regions to expand tourism, create jobs, and strengthen communities.
He concluded that while Ethiopia has made significant progress in developing its tourism sector, there is further potential to explore, and projects like Logo Hayk Resort will continue to anchor growth, unity, and local development across the country.
