Digitalisation of Tourism Services in Rwanda
4th August 2021
Rwanda has a wide variety of well-marked hiking and cycling trails, especially in the Kivu Belt region. Whilst some of these trails have been digitised, they need to be promoted well to regional and international markets. Currently there is no central database for the collection, storage and dissemination of what Rwanda offers. This project, which Acorn is delivering with GOPA for the Rwanda Development Board, and funded by GIZ, aims to promote Rwanda's outdoor tourism by supporting digitisation in the tourism industry.
We will be working with our partners OTB Africa on the development of a central database system, and a "front-end" website (content management system), a mobile app, and a programme of digital marketing to raise awareness in the markets. The project will run for 18 months, and is due for completion in October 2022.
