Kageruka who delivered remarks virtually on the second day of the exhibition, invited them to visit national parks and other nature reserves. She also took them through Rwanda\u2019s efforts to up-skill employees of the hospitality to enrich visitors\u2019 experience and make their stay a memorable. <\/p>\n
Rwandan companies also participated in the trade fair in which they were given floor to bring on board services offered to tourists with a view to encourage representatives of international companies to send tourists to Rwanda. <\/p>\n
