The Government of Rwanda through the Rwanda Development Board, will host the Africa Hotel Investment Forum (AHIF) in October 2016 in Kigali.
Rwanda’s tourism sector has positioned itself as the leading foreign earner for the country. For the financial year 2013 to 2014, the sector registered a 3% increase in the number of visitors to Rwanda. These numbers grew from 1.14million visitors to 1.2 million visitors also accounting for an increase in revenue from $293.4m in 2013 to $303m in 2014.
Leisure has been a major driver of Rwanda’s tourism industry. The country is now focusing on Meetings, Incentives, Conference and Exhibitions/Events (MICE) tourism, capitalising on safety, developed infrastructure, accessibility and new entrants to their hotel industry.
AHIF 2016 Rwanda will provide an opportunity to meet local organisations and forge partnerships in the Land of a Thousand Hills and also provide an opportunity to experience some of the renowned attractions the country has to offer.
