EthioGuzo is striving towards partnerships with local communities and ecolodges that are in harmony with the environment and local societies. 

Mission Statement: Our mission is to create a wholesome tourism environment through the development of community-based activities, accommodation and ecolodges that promote cultural, environmental and historical awareness and conservation.

Why Community-based Ecolodges?

Most visitors come to Ethiopia to see and learn about the unique cultures, nature and history found here. As a sustainable tour operator, EthioGuzo aims to promote and help conserve these unique attributes of the country. Community-based ecolodges are one way to do that by providing a wholesome natural setting that encourages this. An ecolodge set in the natural environment and built using local architecture, resources and knowledge will provide visitors the opportunity to experience the lifestyle of the local community in a comfortable manner. This arrangement will also provide the local community members opportunities in tourism-driven services at the ecolodge and through privately-owned small businesses. It will provide training in tourism related services as well as an education on the importance of preserving the history, culture and environment of the area. EthioGuzo will work with the community to find ways to improve their livelihoods through improved sustainable agricultural techniques,  protection of the communities' water sources through reforestation of the surrounding water catchments and by creating attractive landscapes for interesting nature and cultural hikes through the community lands.
