The Rwf3.5 billion hotel is expected to respond to the problem of the district\u2019s visitors who have been going to neighbouring districts for accommodation.<\/p>\n

The hotel\u2019s construction started five years ago. <\/p>\n

It is part of the pledges that President Paul Kagame made in the district in 2010. He had also promised a football stadium which is under construction as well.<\/p>\n

Ngoma District\u2019s Mayor Aphrodis Nambaje has told IGIHE that their visitors will no longer suffer lack of hotel services in a few months ahead.<\/p>\n

He said the district will hand over the hotel to private investors upon its completion. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis hotel will also earn the district with money to invest in other development projects and infrastructure,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The district\u2019s resident Yves Hakizimana says the hotel should also benefit farmers in the area. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe grow fruits, bananas and more. This hotel will give us a market for our produces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The farmer said the hotel is also expected to give jobs to youth and other categories and urged the district\u2019s leaders to give preference to its residents in recruitment.<\/p>\n

The hotel covers 2.5 hectares. It is developed in public funds through the Local Administrative Entities Development Agency (LODA).<\/p>\n

It has 70 guest rooms including 56 standard, 12 deluxe and two suites. <\/p>\n

The hotel will also have a club, swimming pool, two conference rooms and a parking for a minimum of 100 cars. <\/p>\n

The district is still looking for an investor to take up the hotel which is set to open operations before the year sinks. <\/p>\n

One of the hotel names on table is East Guest Hotel but remains unconfirmed.<\/p>\n
