Rwanda's tourism sector registered tremendous growth as the revenue generated increased by 17% last year compared to 2011.
Tourism generated $281.8m (Rwf178b) in 2012 compared to $251.3m (Rwf159b) the previous year. This corresponds to an increase of 17%, according to 2012 Tourism Report released last week by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB).
Addressing a news conference, Clare Akamanzi, the RDB acting chief executive officer, said hard work put in overtime by the government contributes to the continued growth of the tourism industry.
"The general conducive business environment Rwanda has and specific reforms that have been put in place for tourism such as marketing and infrastructure and high-end tourism strategy, among others, have led to the unprecedented growth of tourism sector in the country," Akamanzi said.
