旅游业目前是卢旺达的主要出口部门，而且正在增长。该国以火山国家公园的稀有山地大猩猩而闻名。本文利用价值链分析研究、补充研究和利益相关者的证词，揭示了公园周围居民的利益。它量化了大猩猩旅游业的扶贫收入和非经济利益，并描述了穷人在经济上参与住宿、餐饮、游览和购物等价值链的机会，以及他们参与的障碍。为了增加当地从大猩猩旅游和公园周围其他旅游活动中获得的利益，作者建议刺激私营部门的活动，增加合资企业协议的数量，增加当地就业和职业发展的机会，并改善与企业家和艺人的商业联系。
Tourism is currently the leading export sector in Rwanda and is growing. The country is famous for the rare mountain gorillas of the Parc National des Volcans. This paper uses information from value chain analysis studies, complementary research and stakeholder testimonies to reveal the benefits that accrue to people living around the Park. It quantifies pro-poor income and non-financial benefits from gorilla tourism, and describes the opportunities for the poor to become economically involved in the value chains relating to accommodation, food and beverages, excursions and shopping, and the barriers to their involvement. To increase local benefits from gorilla tourism and other tourism activities around the Park, the authors recommend stimulating the activities of the private sector, increasing the number of joint venture agreements, enhancing opportunities for local employment and career progression, and improving business linkages with entrepreneurs and entertainers.
