Multimillion Dollar Plan
Rwanda Development Board needs to source mega bucks for tourism
The recently-developed tourism master plan for the Rwanda tourism sector is likely to cost over US$40 million in order to implement and achieve all the objectives the board set its sights on for the next 10 years. Under the plan, several key locations in Rwanda will be earmarked for further development, starting with the capital Kigali and including the Parc de Volcanoes (gorillas), the Akagera and Nyungwe national parks, and the areas around Gisenyi, Lake Muhazi, and Kibuye.
One of the aims of the master plan is the increased engagement with and cooperation from local communities bordering tourism attractions, whose goodwill and conservation efforts are considered a key to the future of tourism in Rwanda. No information was available at the time of going to press as to where the funding would come from or in what tranches money would be released, if secured in the first place.
