The Government of Burundi has affirmed its commitment to open up the country and ensure the sustainable development of tourism as an effective instrument for regional planning and a means of strengthening the private sector. In this way, tourism can contribute to the reduction of poverty and the consolidation of peace through the development and job opportunities that can be created throughout the country. It is within this framework that this strategy was developed since the tourism sector is recognized as an essential lever for the socio-economic growth of the country and a key sector for peacebuilding in Burundi.
