The Minister made the appeal over the weekend during the official opening of two-day conservation activities in honour of the 13th Kwita Izina that include Conservation and Tourism exhibition at Kigali Conference and Exhibition Village.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, held for the second time, was aimed at showcasing Rwanda\u2019s achievements in conservation interventions and tourism related products and services.

\nIt is among the preliminary activities taking place before Kwita Izina scheduled for 1st September 2017 in Musanze district.<\/p>\n

Kanimba said that the government of Rwanda allocates resources for conservation and called upon everyone to play a role in making conservation a success.
\nHe said; \u201cThis activity organized before Kwita Izina helps partners in Rwanda and the region to meet in one place and show their activities. It enables them to exchange ideas, experiences, best practices and the best way forward. \u201d<\/p>\n

Kanimba noted that the development of tourism must base on caring for the basic foundational infrastructures. <\/p>\n

“During this Show, we have received different people including the person who constructed a boat which can be used on lake Kivu, we have examples of the former poachers, who have subsequently formed a cooperative society to become bee farmers and other jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ethiopian Minister of culture and tourism, Dr. Hirut Weldemariam told IGIHE that they have participated in the show to learn from Rwanda\u2019s development in the sector of Tourism.<\/p>\n

She said; \u201cI Participated in this show as a way of increasing my knowledge, regarding the way Rwanda conserves biodiversity and its beauty in order to attract many tourists while developing the society in general.\u201d <\/p>\n
