预订或付款之前
- 向旅行社索要其旅游部执照（资质证书），并请导游出示导游证或执照。正规的旅行社或导游不会介意。
- 确认该旅行社在 ETOA 会员名录中。
- 只预订有自己官网、并且在 Tripadvisor 或 Google 地图上有近期好评的旅行社。要看最新的评论，不要只看评分。
- 付款前拿到书面的行程、包含项目（车辆、燃油、公园门票、巡护向导、餐食）和价格。
- 在教堂、公园和历史遗址，请雇用在入口处工作的官方导游，而不是在街上主动找上你的人。
大家常问的问题
Should I book a tour operator for trips outside Addis Ababa?
Yes, for anything beyond Addis, book through a licensed tour operator. They handle vehicles, drivers, permits and local guides, and they track security conditions daily.
How do I choose a tour operator in Ethiopia?
Ask for its trade licence from the Ministry of Tourism and whether it's a member of the Ethiopian Tour Operators Association (ETOA). Get a written quote showing what's included, ask how they monitor security, and check recent independent reviews.
How should I pay a deposit to a tour operator in Ethiopia?
Pay by bank transfer or card to the company, not to an individual's personal account.
What is ETOA in Ethiopia?
ETOA is the Ethiopian Tour Operators Association. Many established operators belong to it, so asking whether an operator is a member is a useful check.
What's the difference between a tour operator and a travel agent in Ethiopia?
A tour operator runs full trips, with vehicle, driver, hotels, guides, park fees and flights, and is the usual choice for multi-day trips outside Addis. A travel agent books flights, hotels, visas and transfers.
Do I need a scout to trek in Ethiopia's national parks?
In some parks, yes: armed or unarmed scouts are required for trekking. Check whether scouts are included in your operator's written quote.
