Green Land Tours (GLT) derives its name from the color that Ethiopia wears as a result of the fusion of three seasons of rainfall and thirteen months of sunshine.
In 1997 Green Land Tours was established to provide utmost satisfaction to its customers. Due to its outstanding service, the company has twice (2001 and 2002) won the prestigious International Award for Tourism, Hotels and Catering Industry, a trophy presented for outstanding services by the Trade Leaders Club. In addition, in December 2004 Green Land Tours and Travel, along with its cooperating businesses, was awarded the Diamond Eye Award for Quality, Commitment and Excellence in Berlin (Germany). Moreover, for two years running (2004 and 2005) the Ethiopian Tourism Commission presented Certificates of Merit to Green Land Tours for the Most Outstanding Performance in Tour Operation for years 2003 and 2004 respectively.
