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 će pružiti izvrsnu platformu za Ruandu da pokaže svoje ogromne mogućnosti ulaganja u hotelsku i turističku industriju. Na konferenciji za novinare, glavni direktor za turizam, Belise Kariza potaknuo je sudionike da otkriju različite mogućnosti, posebno turističko i ugostiteljsko utočište Kivu Belt Ruande, zajedno sa šest vrhunskih nekretnina u pojasu Kivu, zapadno od Ruande.
„Ruanda je strateški izbor za ulaganje prvenstveno jer pružamo podržavajuće poslovno okruženje sa svim potrebnim uslugama dostupnim na mreži 24 sata dnevno, 7 dana u tjednu. Budući da je turizam glavni oslonac države, vlada je ključni dionik i jako se pobrinula za razvoj potrebne infrastrukture za potporu rastu sektora, poput snažnih cesta, opskrbe vodom i električne energije ”, rekao je 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.
Afrički hotelski investicijski forum (AHIF) je glavna konferencija za ulaganje u hotele u Africi, koja privlači mnoge istaknute međunarodne vlasnike hotela, investitore, financijere i tvrtke za upravljanje. Forum pruža platformu za razmjenu informacija, prijenos znanja i, što je još važnije, prigodu da se Ruanda predstavi kao idealno odredište za ulaganja donositeljima odluka u hotelskim investitorima.
