Tanzania Tourism Rebounds

Excerpt taken from Anadolu Agency (Click link for full article)

As one of Africa’s favorite tourist destinations, Tanzania is known for its breathtaking attractions, including stunning landscapes dotted with wildlife and a rich cultural heritage.

But due to the outbreak of the coronavirus in mid-March this year, the country’s tourism sector has incurred huge losses due to travel restrictions imposed by governments worldwide to quell the menacing virus.

International airlines including KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss Air and Emirates, which halted flights in mid-March, are now flying to and from Tanzania.

At Kilimanjaro International Airport, nestled at the foot of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, a group of Maasai warriors in dazzling outfits sang and leapt in the air as a KLM plane carrying 177 tourists slowly taxied under plumes of sprinkled water as it received a traditional salute to grace its maiden arrival.

“We have won the confidence of tourists, and the world knows that we have all necessary public health measures in place to ensure the safety of our visitors,” said Kilimanjaro regional commissioner Anna Mghwira.

Rwanda received about 1 million visitors last year boosted by the KCC compound for incentives and conventions.

Visit Rwanda

PSG Visit Rwanda Sponsorship

Rwanda has realized the advantages of promoting the country through football. The image of the country and the interest of Rwanda have largely grown since the first agreement with Arsenal. It now has built upon this partnership with a deal with France’s best football team over the last ten years Paris Saint-Germain F.C.

Visit Rwanda and PSG football club have concluded a 3-year sponsorship deal. Starting from 2020/2021 Premiere Ligue season on, the football and the female P.S.G. players will have “Visit Rwanda” on their shirts. The goal is not only to attract more tourists from PSG fans and France but also from other European countries where PSG is becoming more popular.

The deal will also allow to promote Made-in-Rwanda products (exporting goods such as tea and coffee, fashion, and arts) and will organize a yearly event “ La Semaine du Rwanda “ to be held in Paris. Rwanda tea and coffee will be exclusively served in the Parc des Princes stadium. The local fashion industry will be promoted through PSG platforms. The same for creative arts and local brands will also benefit from this partnership.
As part of Rwanda’s tourism promotion in France and the partnership with PSG, RDB is also working with la Boutique PR company to promote Rwanda to French Travel Trade.

The company is helping to reach out to French operators to add Rwanda to their tour offerings and feature Rwanda in their brochures. Some companies have already agreed to feature Rwanda.
