The Cultural and Community-based tourism contributes 75% of the tourism revenues directly to the local communities. In the year 2009; 88.6% revenues went to local communities as direct benefits. Besides that, 12 local guides were trained and employed by the company; schools, dispensaries, child-headed homes, widows of genocide, reformed perpetrators of genocides also benefited, women living HIV/AIDS also benefited from our project tours.

Through Community-based tours; women empowerment has been achieved and also encouraged innovations, creativity and entrepreneurship amongst the local community groups receiving tourists. Because of incomes generated from tourism in all community-based tourism activities, this reduced conflicts within many homes in villages where we operate. Our tours support conservation as our motto says, “Conserve through eco-tourism”
