Official data shows that Rwanda's tourism revenues increased to 445 million U.S. dollars in 2022, up 171.3 percent from the previous year, with nature-based tourism bearing the potential to drive the country's economic growth.
Gorilla trekking, a unique tourist attraction in the East African country, generated revenues of 113 million dollars, the government institution, Rwanda Development Board (RDB), said in a report released on Wednesday.
The country attracted about 110,000 visitors to its national parks in 2022, registering an increase of 142.4 percent from 2021, the report said. It added that the country aims to increase tourism receipts to 800 million dollars by 2024.
"We also saw a 40.5 percent increase in total goods and services receipts in 2022. This is a positive sign of movement in the economy, despite the global supply chain disruption," said Clare Akamanzi, chief executive officer of RDB.
