'We made a lot of new clients and friends at the RwandAir ITB counters. This was one of our most successful ITB experiences,' he said, adding that the airline is actively working on launching a new route to Frankfurt.

Similarly, Manzi Isibo, Reservations Manager at Wilderness Rwanda, emphasized the impact of Rwanda's presence at ITB Berlin 2025.

'We've had many productive discussions with different stakeholders, secured deals, all in the name of growing the Rwanda brand as a top destination worldwide,' he noted.

Germany's Federal Minister for Digitalization and Infrastructure, Dr. Volker Wissing, was among the distinguished visitors to Rwanda's booth. He praised the country's exceptional presentation.

'It's a wonderful stand here at the ITB exhibition, and Rwanda is being presented at its best. I highly recommend discovering Rwandaâ€"an amazing country with wonderful people and stunning nature,' he told IGIHE.

Having visited Rwanda multiple times, Dr. Wissing highlighted the nation's strong infrastructure and economic growth, reinforcing its appeal as a tourist destination.

Harry Theoharis, former Minister for Tourism in the Cabinet of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and former Head of the Department of Revenue during the Greek government debt crisis, also visited Rwanda's booth at ITB Berlin 2025.
