1.6 Opportunities and Threats

1.6.1 Opportunities
 Having sustainable development goals
 The establishment of a free income economy system
 Having a stable macroeconomic situation
 The fact that our country's economic diplomacy is bringing about the development
of our sector
 Helping to increase the flow of tourists as the country enters the world market
network
 The expansion and availability of new technologies at the international level
 Increasing the desire and motivation to use modern technology and
communication methods

1.6.2 Threats
 International political instability, especially in the Horn of Africa.
 A price increase that is disproportionate to the quality of products and services.
 The global economic crisis and instability.
 Begging and harassment are not curbed to the required level.
 Climate change and population growth.
 A tendency to be subservient to immigrant cultures rather than one's own culture.
 The existence of organizational and operational problems to implement policies
and regulations.

1.7 Problem observed that affect the organizational at

current time and its critical issue
 Due to the fact that the attention given to the tourism sector is very low, the wealth
obtained from the tourism resources is insignificant and the same role for nation
building is not said to exist compared to others.

 INTERNSHIP REPORT

 What makes the sector in trouble is that the educated and uneducated sections of
the society instead of appreciating what is their own, give a different value to other
products, culture, traditions and natural resources, as it has fallen under the
influence of expenses rather than loss of income, especially in the Dejen district
culture and tourism office, the district and the state government together with
other sectors. That is a fact view and respect is low in comparison.
 The tourism sector, especially the mineral wealth, the religious heritage, the most
interesting artistic results, cultural traditions, rare birds in other countries, not only
the lack of knowledge about the existence of species that are not found in other
countries, but also the inability to properly protect and care for the sector and the
inability to allocate an adequate budget for the sector.
 Although tourism is one of the five sectors that are mainly focused on, there is a
wide gap in the leadership and expertise of the organization that manages the
sector, as well as allocating the necessary budget and guiding the organization to
achieve its expected mission.
 The fact that the knowledge and technological skills have not been developed to
recognize and exploit the untapped surface and underground resources. The
biggest challenge is not being able to bring about a change in vision and thinking
and the fact that an entrepreneur who claims to be able to create wealth on his own
is flawed, but on the contrary, it is a society that appreciates the products and
services of others.
 Another challenge is not being able to see options that will add more potential to
the economy by using different sectors to increase the source of income and
promoting culture and taking care of tourism resources instead of money from
foreign visitors. The fact that their wages are not enough makes them less
motivated to work.
 Another challenge is not being able to see options that will add more potential to
the economy by using different sectors to increase the source of income and
promoting culture and taking care of tourism resources instead of money from

foreign visitors. The fact that their wages are not enough makes them less
motivated to work.

1.8 Solutions
 Having a leader and expert of the organization to lead the sector by focusing on
the tourism resources and allocating an adequate budget and salary
 To enable tourism to have greater contributions in building the image of our
country and our district and improving the living standards of the citizens as a
major source of income, develop a strong market for the sector's products that is
competitive on an international level, and make the advertising work to be carried
out.
 The district's culture and tourism sector will be brought to a higher level by the
government and private investors who use technology to create an army of skills
and knowledge. Enabling energy development policy development and
implementation.
 To attract domestic and foreign visitors and generate revenue to reduce and stop
poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking.
 Linking sectoral development with rural and urban development and making it
play a meaningful role in terms of supporting the efforts being made to get out of
poverty by achieving rapid economic growth and creating ample job opportunities.
 Making the sector's operations to be assisted by technology as well.

heritage is a source of our identity and a source of pride for our country.

sustainable development goals and a stable macroeconomic situation. Our
country's economic diplomacy in terms of achieving results for the development of
our sector, etc

4.1 Conclusion
This practical attachement contains :introduction,background of the oorganization
,cardinal issues(mission,vision,,objective and goals )of the organization ,organization’s
structure,strength and weaknesses,the real and opportunities problems of the the
organization and solution ,etc…the office is standing to satisty its customers,observed
some issues like the professional status of the staff members ,,punctuality of the members

the organization .

Generally,I gained some experience due to the practical attachement for example :how to
work in cooperation with others and how to accutabe and responsible in work place.

4.2 Recommendation
 I observed many things during my practice. That means, from my point of view,
the things I noticed in the Degen district culture and tourism office and if there is
anything I can say if it is improved.
 I think that if the Dejan district culture and tourism office is established at the
Kebele level, it can do a lot more in terms of increasing the tourism resources and
preserving culture for future generations.
 If the government should give incentives to the office workers, because compared
to other sectors, this sector does not have enough money allocated by the
government, and because they do not have their own office and computer, their
respect for their profession is lowered. Therefore, if the district and the zone are
given special support and adequate materials are provided, it is possible to
increase the economy of the district and the region.
 Since the office is not working on promoting the movable and immovable
heritages of the community and giving them tours, now if they work to make them
love and respect their country's culture and dress by providing various trainings
and making them visit in person, it is possible to save the future generation from
western culture.
 Finally, if the Dejan district culture and tourism office works properly, it can
achieve its goals and solve other problems by working together with other sectors

15 | P a g e

and cooperating with governmental and non-governmental organizations to

maintain the forms and attract tourists and raise the economic status of the district.
