The Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) has signed a hotel management and marketing agreement with Mantis Collection, for Akagera Game Lodge. The purpose of the 10-year agreement is to boost revenue performance of the facility while attracting and retaining global clientele.
“We are glad to embark on this ambitious and strategic plan for Akagera Game Lodge, together with Mantis Group. This is an important step in demonstrating the government of Rwanda's expansion plan within the tourism industry and its potential for further development in the near future,” says Belise Kariza, Chief Tourism Officer of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB).
RDB says that the success of this deal will add to the existing strategy to grow the Rwandan travel, tourism and hospitality value chain, which currently accounts for a total of US$1bn (€864m) in investment.
