The collection and distribution of reliable and up-to date statistical information about visiting tourists is an important tool for the proper planning and promotion of sustainable tourism development in Rwanda yet for years such essential planning information has not been readily available.
Rwanda Office of Tourism and National Parks (ORTPN) has since June 2007 embarked on improving the country’s tourism statistics with financial assistance from the World Bank. Therefore as part of these efforts monthly highlights of Tourists arrivals in Rwanda are prepared in collaboration with the Directorate General of immigration and Emigration.
This is the first time that tourism arrival statistics are compiled in a systematic and regular manner. It is our hope that the statistics will become a powerful tool for tourism planners, developers and operators. We look forward to completely assess the economic impact of tourism in Rwanda. Please find the tourists arrival statistics for January – May 2008 on annex 9 and 10.
