Let’s rock at Red Rocks Musanze for World Tourism Day

A Billion Tourists – A Billion Opportunities is a slick slogan to highlight just how much the global tourism industry has grown in recent years and what economic impact the sector now has on in particular some African countries.

Following a recent visit to Rwanda and, as part of the media itinerary a visit to the Red Rocks site near Musanze, did it come as little surprise that local entrepreneur Greg Bakunzi put up the party signs for this weekend’s World Tourism Day, which is celebrated on the 27th of September every year.

Read on to find out what is planned at Red Rocks and if in Rwanda and more specifically in or near Musanze, by all means pay them a visit and help celebrate the occasion:

Since 1980, the United Nations World Tourism Organization has celebrated World Tourism Day on September 27. This date was chosen as on that day in 1970, the Statutes of the UNWTO were adopted. Join us as we celebrate this special day!

Sure you could come to Red Rocks for the day but staying overnight is really the way to get the best out of Red Rocks. We offer simple rooms at our guesthouse or you can camp outside. We provide tents or feel free to bring your own. Please join us overnight! Follow this link for more details.

Interested in making traditional Rwandan baskets, banana beer, or local jewelry. Want to work on a family farm or visit a local beekeepers cooperative? These are just a few of the many cultural activities or day tours offered through Red Rocks. Check the activity guide on our website for more info. Certain activities like Gorilla Trekking require advance planning.

World Tourism Day is this Sunday and we will be celebrating at Red Rock Rwanda. The goal of this annual event is to foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value. The event seeks to address global challenges outlined by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to highlight the contribution the tourism sector can make in reaching these goals.
