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.
该论坛将为卢旺达提供一个绝佳的平台，以展示其在酒店和旅游业的巨大投资机会。 在新闻发布会上，首席旅游官Belise Kariza鼓励与会人员发现各种机会，尤其是基伍带卢旺达的旅游和款待天堂以及卢旺达以西基伍带的六个主要房地产。
“卢旺达是一种战略投资选择，主要是因为我们提供了支持性的商业环境，并提供24/7全天候在线提供的所有必要服务。 卡里扎说：“由于旅游业是该国的主要支柱，政府是主要的利益相关者，并已十分注意发展必要的基础设施，以支持该行业的发展，例如强劲的道路，供水和电力。”
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.
非洲酒店投资论坛（AHIF）是非洲首要的酒店投资会议，吸引了许多国际知名酒店所有者，投资者，金融家和管理公司。 该论坛提供了一个信息交流，知识传播的平台，更重要的是，这是一个将卢旺达推向酒店投资者决策者理想投资目的地的机会。
