This paper investigates the Rwandan tourism industry in general and tourism enterprise in Kinigi sector in particular. It critically investigates the relative success of the tourism in Kinigi Sector. The aim of this study was to identify the participation level of local people and the poor in the tourism industry and investigate on local people’s perception of significance of tourism in improving their livelihood. Thus, the research seeks to know how local people in Kinigi Sector participate in tourism industry. The study is important because it attempts to raise the voices of the ‘rural poor in Rwanda (specifically from the case study area) who might have not yet enjoyed the full benefits of tourism. A collection of questionnaires, interviews, observations and documentation were used to generate data in the paper. In general, the study showed that as residents’ perception of the tourism role increases, their life satisfaction with various life conditions increases. Tourism development strategists need to consider the strength of this relationship, and focus on maintaining the residents’ highest life satisfaction derived from various tourism dimensions. This finding also reveals that tourism developers in Rwanda should know how residents perceive tourism impacts and how it affects their life satisfaction according to tourism development stages.

The relationship between tourism and poverty reduction has been emphasized by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and, it is a topic for the global economic agenda. Yet, for over three decades, tourism has been assumed to have the capacity to ensure effective development in developing countries. But, until now evidences on positive contribution of tourism on aspect such as poverty reduction in developing countries, particularly at local level, are patchy. Tourism has therefore been under criticism in recent years, as it seems to be failing to demonstrate its potential as a tool for poverty reduction and overall development. Due to the lack of research into how exactly the benefits received by the poor from tourism (if any) contribute to improving their livelihoods, this study saw the need to deepen the understanding on the potential of tourism as a poverty reduction strategy in Rwanda. Hopefully, systematic research in this regard will contribute to put this sector firmly on future anti-poverty agendas. Essentially, the paper investigates the role of tourism in improving the lives of communities around Volcanoes National Park in Kinigi sector. A framework used in the study area is the Rogerson’s Tourism–Poverty Model. The reason for using this model is to make a comparative analysis of Rogerson’s tourism-poverty elements vis-a-vis tourism in KINIGI Sector around VOLCANOES national Park. These elements include inter alia: education and training, empowerment, enterprise development, corporate social investment, creation of employment opportunities and others. Among others, it was found out that tourism is capable of creating a substantial number of jobs for local people.
