Project: Hospitality and tourism institute

Location: Gisenyi

Summary: The project entails building and managing a hospitality institute in Gisenyi, which is located in the western province. Gisenyi is a key tourist destination near Lake Kivu and Volcanoes National Park. The location has plenty of tourist facilities. The potential investor would be expected to provide training in the following fields.

• Hospitality management
• Tour and travel operations
• Food and beverages services
• Front office operations
• Housekeeping
• Food production

Investment cost: $1 021 818

Sector: Tourism is currently among the top foreign exchange earners in Rwanda, and is attracting considerable interest from international hotel groups. The country’s strategic geographical location, unique scenery, security, good policies on wildlife, and the protection of tourist sites have contributed to the sector's growth. Tourism and hospitality have great potential but face challenges such as shortage of professional staff. The only existing tourism training institution, Kigali Tourism School, cannot meet the staffing needs of the sector.
