PM Abiy also observed progress of a tourism project being constructed under the “Dine for Generations” initiative in the city.

“Arba-Minch is a sought-after destination endowed with various types of fruits, bird life, mountains, and fresh water bodies, offering astounding potential,” he stated via a social media post on Friday after his visit to the area.

“Despite bringing great hope, it also evokes regret in that we have done little work to develop it fully until now,” the Prime Minister stressed, adding that “The Dine for Generations project includes a timeshare component for Ethiopians, both locally and in the diaspora, to invest in and indulge in this paradise.”
