The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) today held a press conference to announce the Africa Hotel Investment Forum that is happening in Kigali, Rwanda from 4th to 6th October.
Forum bo Ruandi odlična platforma za predstavitev njenih ogromnih naložbenih možnosti v hotelski in turistični industriji. Na tiskovni konferenci je glavna direktorica turizma Belise Kariza spodbudila udeležence, da odkrijejo različne priložnosti, zlasti turistično in gostoljubno zatočišče Kivu Belt Ruanda skupaj s šestimi nepremičninami v pasu Kivu, zahodno od Ruande.
»Ruanda je strateška naložbena izbira predvsem zato, ker zagotavljamo podporno poslovno okolje z vsemi potrebnimi storitvami, ki so na voljo 24 ur na dan. Ker je turizem glavni nosilec države, je vlada ključni deležnik in je zelo skrbela za razvoj potrebne infrastrukture za podporo rasti sektorja, kot so močne ceste, oskrba z vodo in elektrika, «je dejala Kariza.
The key investment opportunities presented include: a hot spring eco-tourism resort on the Rubavu Peninsula, an entertainment and leisure complex in Rubavu, a five-star golf resort and residential villas, an Ecolodge on Gihaya Island, a premium boutique hotel and tourism center in Rusizi and the completion of a five-star conference and leisure hotel in Rusizi district.
The respective projects range in value from $50 up to $152 million. Rwanda’s western province is a popular tourist destination given its vicinity to the Volcanoes National Park, home of the mountain gorillas and its current offering of lakeside resorts and water sports. According to tourism statistics, the industry registered more than US $ 340m in revenues in 2015 indicating a 10% increase from 2014.
“As we develop more tourism packages, it is important that we diversify our offering in terms of luxury accommodations and amenities for our clients. Lake Kivu is literally paradise on earth and presents the opportunity for Rwanda to become a resort destination,” she added. The Kivu belt offers a breath-taking, incredible scenery, exquisite weather and accessibility making it attractive holiday destination. The Kivu Belt houses prime lakeside properties, flora and fauna, cultural and heritage sites and nature trails.
Afriški hotelski investicijski forum (AHIF) je vodilna konferenca o hotelskih naložbah v Afriki, ki privablja številne ugledne mednarodne lastnike hotelov, vlagatelje, financerje in družbe za upravljanje. Forum ponuja platformo za izmenjavo informacij, prenos znanja in, kar je še pomembneje, priložnost, da Ruando označi kot idealno naložbeno destinacijo za odločevalce v hotelskih vlagateljih.
