Location and Topography

The project is located in the benshangul Gumuz National Regional State, Metekel zone, Pawe
town. Metekel Zone is one of the 3 zones in Benshangul Gumuz National Regional State
occupying the south eastern portion of the region.

Moreover, the recent economic and infrastructure development brought an increased business
activity to increase the demand of fuel in the area. In addition to the regular business and leisure
travelers, many high officials, experts and tourists are coming to the area. All the above customer
potential and the increasing international tourists has made necessary to build a modern fuel
station center to provide the required high quality service.

Recognizing these facts and future trends, this investment project has been designed to fill the
gap as a modern fuel station service.

however, total tourism volume has steadily risen over the past 10 years. Domestic tourism
appears to be a consistent contributor, while foreign tourism has increased.

entertainment, nightclub venues are still one of the highest cash flow businesses in the world our
localized studies have shown that the average single adult will spend three to four hours per

Utilities

is clear that pressure is put on the systems by tourism. The tourist per capital utilization of these
resources, especially water and electricity, is much higher than that of resident populations
because of such factors in recreation as bathing. Toilet flushing, large and busy kitchens, air
conditioning, wasteful use of electricity for lighting, a telephone in every room, etc. may be a
burden to the country’s infrastructure. However, the problems will be less acute in the area due
to the growing effort of the government.
