Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>As a way to invite the world to visit Rwanda, French top football club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Visit Rwanda launched a new campaign to showcase Rwanda\u2019s tourism attractions and iconic sporting and events facilities.

The centrepiece of the campaign is a video that premiered at the Parc des Princes in Paris during the recent Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco game, promotes Rwanda\u2019s unique attractions, with a focus on the Kigali Golf Course, the first of its kind in the region, and the latest sporting facility that strengthens the country\u2019s position as a global sports tourism hub.<\/p>\n

Marc Armstrong, PSG\u2019s Sponsorship Director said that Rwanda is quickly becoming the home of sport in Africa, and they are proud to partner with Visit Rwanda to showcase the country\u2019s world-class attractions and facilities.<\/p>\n

Among the facilities showcased in the video include the recently unveiled 18-hole Kigali Golf Course managed by Rwanda Ultimate Golf Course, a subsidiary of Rwanda Social Security Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, our Paris Saint-Germain legends Youri Djorkaef and Rai visited the country and experienced the famous Rwandan hospitality and I encourage everyone to plan their trip to the Land of a Thousand Hills today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A visit to Rwanda is guaranteed to be memorable, said Ariella Kageruka, Acting Chief Tourism Officer at Rwanda Development Board, adding that this new campaign with Paris Saint-Germain gives just a taste of what visitors can expect.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwanda is open for tourism and we are excited to welcome the world to experience our rich culture, lush national parks and unique wildlife, and be part of some of the world\u2019s most exciting sporting events from the Basketball Africa League to the Road World Championships\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Josue Dushimimana, the CEO of Rwanda Ultimate Golf Course, said: \u201cThe Kigali Golf Course is located in the heart of Rwanda\u2019s capital city and is the first of its kind in the region, and is ready to welcome the world\u2019s best as well as amateur golfers to tee off their next adventure in Rwanda.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch of the campaign follows a week-long series of activities that featured RDB, tour operators and a photo exhibition among others with the aim to promote Rwanda\u2019s diverse tourism, offering to travel buyers in France and Europe.<\/p>\n

Rwanda\u2019s Ambassador to France, Francois Ngarambe said that the country is committed to making partnerships work by continuously investing in tourism experiences to exceed travellers\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n
