Published by Rwanda News Agency/Agence Rwandaise d'Information (Kigali)"Rwandan mountain gorillas are so precious that they have attracted tourists representing about 92 nationalities out of the worldwide total of 240, Director-General of the Rwanda Office of Tourism and National Parks - ORTPN - said this week.
Ms. Rosette Rugamba said last year alone, the ever increasing number of tourists coming to Rwanda to watch the gorillas brought in some $7 million (about Rwf 3.8 billion) in receipts. The entire tourism sector garnered some $42.3 million.
Officials from ORTPN were on Sunday at a public discussion in preparation for the Kwita Izina - gorilla naming - Ceremony due June 21 and expected to attract hundreds of international guests."
