Kayonza district mayor John Bosco Nyemazi has urged the private sector to invest into the hospitality industry as the region has great potential and business opportunities for tourism.
Speaking last Thursday in Mukarange sector, during a dinner event jointly organized in collaboration with Private Sector Federation (PSF), Nyemazi said “In Kayonza we have many tourism opportunities which still need to be exploited”
He mentioned that Kayonza as a tourist destination because of the significant attractions which include Akagera National Park, Lake Muhazi and the fact that the district is located in the middle of six of the seven districts that make up Eastern Province.
“Kayonza is strategically located as the heart of Eastern Province; it is a crossroad to and from Kirehe and Ngoma, from Nyagatare and Gatsibo, Kigali and Rwamagana. But the question we have to ask ourselves is, can we provide the required services” he said.
In addition, Mayor Nyemezi advised the private sector to enhance their services in order to attract investors.
The chair of PSF in Kayonza district Charles Asiimwe, promised that Kayonza’s private sector will work together to make the necessary investment.
“We are organizing private sector trainings in different places in order to increase knowledge and skills in tourism.” He added.
