Rwanda hopeful about religious tourism growth

Thursday, November 18, 2021

Rwanda is now keeping fingers crossed to witness a sharp increase in religious tourism arrivals with the celebrations of the 40th Anniversary of the Marian Apparitions at Kibeho on 28th November 2021.

Kibeho is situated in the Southern Province of Rwanda and is about five hours away from the spotlessly clean capital city of Kigali.

To quote Clarence Fernandes, Chairman, Rwanda Renaissance, “We have taken several groups of religious tourists to the Holy Land of Kibeho over the years. The single largest group consisted of as many as forty – six pilgrims, ten of whom were non- Christians. They all had a wonderful spiritual experience and a few have even come back again on a pilgrimage.”
