JUBILEE

Ethiopian Holidays is a joint partnership between Boston Partners and Ethiopian Airlines that provides unique value- and price attractive tour packages for individuals, couples, families or groups desiring to visit tourist attractions in Ethiopia and those wishing to travel to other Ethiopian Airlines destinations around the world.

Jubilee magazine was produced by New Arts and Culture and designed by SICS as part of Africa’s semi-centennial anniversary, preparations to effectively document and publicize this momentous occasion for the benefit of the continent’s current and future generations.

SICS in partnership with Ethiopian Holidays has managed to publish the first edition of Ethiopian-Holidays Magazine and is now working on the second issue that is scheduled to be launched in September 2013.

The publication adopted a three-pronged approach to its contents. It primarily reflects on fifty years of Pan-Africanism through a historical account of the OAU and its eventual transformation into the AU. It also examines Africa’s current engagements and its burgeoning role in global affairs before finally projecting Africa’s future prospects while looking forward to its inspirational march to a greater future.
