Rwanda recognized as “the most distinctive tourist destination” at the Guangzhou Fair.

Founded in 1993, this year’s annual event brought together more than 150 exhibitors from 55 countries to present and promote their products.

During the exhibition, the Rwandan Embassy in China promoted tourism products made in Rwanda (made in Rwanda). The Embassy also announced the start of RwandAir ‘s commercial flights to Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province in southern China.

“It is now more convenient for Chinese tourists to visit Rwanda because they can book Rwandan tourism products online through VisitRwanda’s flagship store on” Fliggy “, an Alibaba tourism application,” said Charles Kayonga, Ambassador of Rwanda in China.

He added that RwandAir’s flights to Guangzhou will facilitate trade between the two countries, boost tourism and investment, and trade between China and Africa in general.

Last year, more than 8,000 Chinese tourists visited Rwanda. The figure is expected to increase in 2019, according to official forecasts.
