  Rwanda

Small in geographical size, Rwanda has recently become a serious player in the East African Community and a showpiece country where many state-of-the-art projects and initiatives are piloted. The likes of Bill Gates and Tony Blair, as well as leading companies and organizations such as Starbucks, the Clinton Foundation or Partners in Health have all been drawn here and contribute their share to Vision 2020 which wants to turn Rwanda from one of the poorest places on earth into a middle-income country within only few decades.

Behind this success story lies an exceptionally strong and visionary leadership that ensures good accountability and little corruption, and that calls for trade and investments instead of aid.

As a result, the country has become increasingly interesting for a variety of visitors who are looking for more than the extraordinary beauty of the 'Land of a Thousand Hills' and the hospitality of the 'Land with a Million Smiles'. Truly enough, Rwanda also harbors about half of the world’s remaining highly endangered mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park as well as two other diverse and attractive national parks with Nyungwe, the largest mountainous rainforest in central and east Africa, and Akagera, an exciting savannah and wetland habitat with increasing numbers of game animals and excellent bird life.

But what made Rwanda the leading Eos Visions country is the amazing opportunity to learn about a variety of challenges and success stories that concern much of the developing world. Rwanda is educational tourism and incentive travel at its best, with highly hospitable and accessible partners that are keen to welcome visitors and build further partnerships all in a small country with excellent infrastructure.
