Tourism is the term used to describe spending time away from home during non-work hours in pursuit of fun, leisure, and relaxation. Leisure is not a work or a social obligation, but the decision of one's own free time. Attractions are the places, people, things, and activities that entice travelers to a place. With four distinct categories of attractions—community-based, combined nature-and-human-based, human-based, nature-based, and participatory nature-based, which is referred to as cultural tourism—tourism is generally the largest industry in the world. Rwanda, one of the safest nations in Africa, provides visitors and locals alike with security and safety, ensuring a secure and safe stay. The study looks at and assesses Rwanda's administrative structure, which includes the four geographically based provinces of North, South, East, and West as well as the City of Kigali, in order to ensure the availability and diversity of tourism attractions throughout the country. The most well-liked tourist destinations are used as models in the thorough study and in-depth analysis approach, and they can be found in the five governmental structure of Rwanda recognized that all four of its tourist attractions are diverse and have the potential to boost the nation's tourism industry, positioning it as one of the top travel destinations in the world. This is a result of hard labor, nature, people, and the government. Through boosting tourism, which is vital to the nation's economy because it creates a significant quantity of jobs and foreign exchange revenues, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) seeks to enhance the lives of Rwandans.References
