JOB DESCRIPTION
With ‘Visit Rwanda’ the country prominently showcases the high potential as well as the ambition of Rwanda to promote its tourism sector.

The DMU Kivu Belt is a voluntary coalition of private and public tourism and hospitality actors working towards the common goal to increase the number of visitors, their expenditure and their length of stay, as well as a related increase of economic growth and employment in the region.

3. Advising on strategies on how to identify target groups, focal areas and new products as well as supporting their implementation and pricing strategies (for example organisation of trips, synergies with other economic sectors, workshops with activity providers and tour operators)
4. Participating in the identification, mapping and inclusion of all touristic stakeholders along the tourism value chain (focus on women, persons with disabilities and minority groups) in line with the associations of the Chamber of Tourism
5. Identifying capacity development needs for tourism actors and supporting potential interventions with relevant stakeholders, for example private sector partnerships, training providers and linkages with development partners
6. Advising on the development of a joint marketing strategy for the Destination Kivu Belt in line with the national marketing strategy and supporting its implementation under a multi-stakeholder approach, including a professional web and social media presence, marketing campaigns, interactions with international travel media
