Editor,

This letter is in reference to the article - Delegates arrive for the ACBF summit – that was published in yesterday’s issue.

Looking at the number of International conferences that Rwanda has hosted, so far, I have no doubt that the country can expand on its Conference tourism.

I have visited Rwanda on three different occasions and each time, I am convinced that the country is ideal for conferences and other meetings.

The service industry is steadily growing, the security is guaranteed and, I must add, the weather is great.

I would encourage entrepreneurs to invest in the hospitality industry, with the look of things, more international organisations will be happy to have Rwanda host high level meetings.
