The revenue was generated from over 380,000 tourists visiting the country. The plan was to secure 2.7 billion dollars, but the country managed to attain 53pc of the target, according to Hirut Kassa (PhD), minister of Culture & Tourism. In the last fiscal year, 933,000 tourists visited the country helping it bag 3.5 billion dollars in revenue, which was even higher than what the nation earned from exports in the reported period.
