Editor,

RE: "More should be done to unlock cultural tourism potential” (The New Times, August 15).

I am an American from California, who just returned from visiting your incredible country. Your museums are important, but so is the natural beauty of both the City of Kigali and the villages.

Your people in the cities and the villages are your best asset for tourism and making it possible for tourists to understand how the country has come so far in its recovery since the Genocide is something foreigners want to learn. This will make tourists want to come. Show people why Rwanda is so successful and growing in the right direction. Thank you!
