Ethiopia is a landlocked sovereign country located in the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia is bordered by Eritrea to the north,Sudan to the west,South Sudan to the south-west,Kenya to the south,Somalia to the east and Djibouti to the north-east. Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries in the world and Africa's second-most populous nation. Ethiopia has yielded some of humanity's oldest traces,making the area important in the history of human evolution. Recent studies claim that the vicinity of present-day Addis Ababa was the point from which human beings migrated around the world. Ethiopian dynastic history traditionally began with the reign of Emperor Menelik I in 1000 BC. The roots of the Ethiopian state are similarly deep,dating with unbroken continuity to at least the Aksumite Empire and its predecessor state,D`mt. After a period of decentralized power in the 18th and early 19th centuries known as the Zemene Mesafint,the country was reunited in 1855 by Kassa Hailu,who became Emperor Tewodros II,beginning Ethiopia's modern history. Ethiopia's borders underwent significant territorial expansion to its modern borders for the rest of the century,especially by Emperor Menelik II and Ras Gobena,culminating in its victory over the Italians at the Battle of Adwa in 1896 with the military leadership of Ras Makonnen,and ensuring its sovereignty and freedom from colonization. It was brutally occupied by Benito Mussolini's Fascist Italy from 1936 to 1941,ending with its liberation by British Empire and Ethiopian Patriot forces. Its eastern border also changed in 1950 from the former 1908 Convention Line to the subsequent provisional administrative line.

Tourism in Eritrea made up 2% of Eritrea's economy up to 1997. After 1998,revenues from tourism fell to one quarter of 1997 levels. In 2006 it made up less than 1% of the country's GDP. The World Tourism Organization calculated that the country's international tourism receipts in 2002 were just US$73 million. Sources from 2015 states that tourism is limited to the eritrean diaspora and newlywed couples on their honeymoon from Sudan,visiting the capital Asmara. There are also a few curious architects visiting the country. However,the eritrean airline,Eritrean Airlines,has not been allowed to fly international flights due to security breaches as well as sanctions which has led international visitors to rely on airlines such as Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines to get to the country.
