RE: "RwandaAir's new dream mile programme to boost cashless economy” (The New Times, November 23).

RwandaAir's "Dream Miles Loyalty Programme” is commendable and precisely highlights the importance of partnerships.

The national carrier of this great country has effectively partnered with the leading Pan-African bank (Ecobank), Visa Rwanda and Global Travel Wallet to give customers a unique and an innovative product.

Jean-Paul Nyirubutama, Ag Chief Executive Officer, RwandaAir, rightly remarked that this loyalty programme is "first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa”.

While RwandaAir's initiative will definitely boost a cashless economy, it will also serve as a guideline how partnerships can and surely will take this beautiful land of a thousand hills to even greater heights.
