Rwanda is among the rapid developing nations especially in the tourism industry because of the availability of different tourist attractions in the country which attract tourists from different parts of the world. Geographically, Rwanda is a landlocked country situated in central Africa bordering countries like Uganda in the north, Tanzania in the east, DR. Congo in the west and Burundi in the south. But economically the country later joined the East African Community intentionally to enjoy some of the economic advantages that accrue from being a member of this community. Initially, the country was known internationally as unstable country because of the 1994 genocide that swept the country leaving thousands of Rwandans dead and others homeless.

After this catastrophe, the nation did not sit back to mourn about what had transpired but instead embarked on the country wide mass rebuilding policy that has not discriminated the tourism industry either. Different infrastructures both economical and social have been set up and the old ones developed. Most road have been thoroughly constructed particularly those connecting different tourism destinations like Volcanoes National Park, the home to mountain gorillas, Nyungwe Forest the home to Chimpanzees and other 13 different species of primates, Akagera National among others.
