On the occasion, Dr Almaz Afera,DBU Vice President for Research and Community service made a welcoming speech. She said that Ethiopia has long history and it is rich in diversified culture and ethnicity. The country was the first in development and it has its own liturgy and drawings along with fascinating natural and historical heritages. Though it was one of the developed nations in the world in the earlier times, it declines. Therefore, now Higher Education institutes are responsible to reverse our country’s history. The goal of the symposium is to link the zone’s cultural and historical heritages and values to the industry and enhance the country’s renaissance. In addition, Ethiopia has its own literature in Africa, natural, historical and religious heritages which need to be preserved and transferred to the next generation. As a result, making such heritages to be tourist destination and make use of the community is vital to development.
