Turistdollars bidrager til miljøbeskyttelse og lokal økonomisk udvikling i Rwanda.. blot ét eksempel ud af mange. “..tourists have generated over USD 3 million in revenue every year since 2005.. According to the Rwandan government, the majority of the revenue produced by tourism is reinvested in the park and in wildlife conservation. Some of these profits are also devoted to projects in the area so that the local people can also benefit from the enormous revenues generated by the park.” “The Association for the Conservation of Nature in Rwanda is combating the intensive illegal farming along the Nyabarongo River by eliminating agricultural crops and training the local community in the production of high-quality products made from materials harvested sustainably from the wetland, such as papyrus and pennisetum. This conservation programme has resulted not only environmental but also economic benefits. For example, previously, basket weavers manufactured low-quality products and sold them for USD 2 to USD 3. After receiving training and gaining access to new markets, these same individuals can now sell higher-quality woven baskets for USD 10.” u-landsnyt.dk/nyhed/22-05-14/synergi-mellem-milj-beskyttelse-og-get-turisme
