Burundi is on a trajectory. We have witnessed a vibe in our economy that keeps humming and con-tinues to provide new opportunities for investors.
As I lead a strong tourism delegation to the Magical Kenya Travel Expo in Nairobi, I am pleased to announce that Burundi is making gradual strides in developing its tourism industry.
Complimentary Tourism
Tourism is by far one of the biggest economic engines of major economies in Africa. The industry has a ripple effect on other economic sectors and is one of the biggest employers.
Burundi has been working towards enhancing its tourism product with a view to helping compliment established tourism products from across East Africa, especially those from Kenya and Tanzania.
Our objective is to not only learn from your broth-ers and sisters from across the region, but to also add onto the tourism product in East Africa. This includes our unique culture, cuisine and entertain-ment.
Our new economic policies make it easier for local, regional and international investors keen on investing in the tourism sector in Burundi.
Currently, we are formulating a new tourism strate-gy for the country that will guide our vision for the tourism sector in the next 20 years.
We welcome you to tour the Burundi stand at the Magical Kenya Travel Expo at the Kenyatta International Conference Center (KICC), Nairobi.
Come and sample what Burundi has to offer in terms of outdoor adventure, watersports, bird watching, night life, culture, cuisine and much more.Come and experience our Burundi; our Beautiful Burundi.

Finding accurate information on the Internet regarding Burundi Visa formalities and rates is still very difficult the Burundi Immigration Authority does not have a website. The web-site, is currently under construction and will be available sooner. However, Beautiful Burundi sought the required information for entry visas to Burundi.
Most travelers, often first time visitors to Burundi, will be asked by most airlines and travel agencies get an entry visa prior to their travel to Burundi.
However, the Burundi Immigration Authority which is also known as Police de l’Air et des Frontières (PAFE) in French will provide entry visas to all travelers that require an entry visa into Burundi on arrival at the Bujumbura International Airport or at any official border post.
The process of acquiring the entry visa is pretty much straight forward. All the traveler
needs to do is fill in the visa form and pay the required amount, get an official receipt and get issued the entry visa.
There are a number of different visas with dif-ferent rates and validity as below:
Type of Visa Cost Validity
Entry / Transit Visa 40 USD 3 Days
Single Entry Tourist Visa 70 USD 1 Month
Multiple Entry Tourist Visa 90 USD 1 Month
Visa Application Requirements- Passport with at least a 6 months validity- Two (2) passport size photographs- A valid yellow fever vaccination card- American dollars to pay for the visa
TRAVEL INFORMATION FOR BURUNDI
7BURUNDI INFORMATION PACK
• After its defeat in World War I, Germany handed control of a section of the former German East Africa to Belgium.
• On October 20, 1924, this land, which con-sisted of modern-day Rwanda and Burundi, became a Belgian League of Nations man-date territory, known as Ruanda-Urundi.
• However, the Belgians allowed Ruanda-Urundi to continue its kingship dynasty.
Independence
• On January 20, 1959, Burundi’s ruler Mwami Mwambutsa IV requested from the Belgian Minister of Colonies a separation of Burundi and Rwanda and a dissolution of Ruanda-Urundi.
• Burundi’s push for independence was influ-enced to some extent by the instability and ethnic persecution that occurred in Rwanda
• The Union for National Progress (UPRONA), a multi-ethnic unity party led by Prince Louis Rwagasore and the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) became the most prominent organizations throughout Burundi-Urundi.
• After UPRONA’s victory in legislative elec-tions, Prince Rwagasore was assassinated on October 13 in 1961, allegedly with the help of the Belgian colonial administration.
• Burundi claimed independence from Belgium on July 1, 1962, and legally changed its name from Ruanda-Urundi to Burundi.
• Mwami Mwambutsa IV was named king.• On September 18, 1962, just over two
months after declaring independence from Belgium, Burundi joined the United Nations.

• Since Burundi’s independence in 1962, there have been two events called geno-cides in the country. The 1972 mass killings
of Hutus by the Tutsi-dominated army,[21] and the 1993 mass killings of Tutsis by the Hutu populace
Reconstruction

A BRIEF HISTORYOF BURUNDI
8 www.burunditourisme.com
With a thousand hills, Burundi is a mar-velous country. It is an almost ever green country, with a plains and mountains scenery, natural forests and parks where you will find a fauna and a flora of the Eden Garden beauty. And this coun-try invites investors and tourists from all over the world. In-between Central Africa and Eastern Africa, Burundi enjoys a very strategic geographic loca-tion that makes of it the heart of Africa.
Burundi is member of numerous inter-national and regional organizations. As a member state of CEPGL (Economic Community of Great Lakes Countries), EAC (East African Community), COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) and ECCAS (Economic Community of Central African States), Burundi contributes in the creation of a market of more than two hundred thousand people. Burundian economy is almost untapped.
The promotion of investments and the attraction of foreign capitals are prior-ities of the Government which is doing its utmost in view of improving the busi-ness climate and granting a wide range of incentives to investors. It is worth mentioning that the 2013 Doing Business Report ranked Burundi 5th best reform-er worldwide and the only African coun-try among the top 10!
The most targeted sectors by investors
1 Hotel industry and tourism
Obviously, Burundi needs 5 Stars hotels, a conference center, an exhibition and a trade-fair center of an international standing. The occupancy capacity of hotels is very low as regards the inflow of tourists and visitors expected in order
to actually develop international con-ference tourism and integrated tourism (that offers to go through Bujumbura to visit much easily chimpanzees of Vyanda or the Gombé park in Tanzania or gorillas of Kahuzi biyega/Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of Congo).
2 Housing
Bujumbura city harbors more than 500,000 people. As of 2020, the city will harbor more than a million inhabitants. Housing is becoming a crucial issue. The territory is small and storey build-ings are required to meet the demand. Apart from storey buildings in all cities of the country, the policy of villages and urban centers creation goes alongside with the challenge of having modern housing at a price that abides by the cost of living.
3 Health
Bujumbura city and other different cities of the country likewise, need hospitals with modern technologies and equip-ments. Many patients in Burundi go to seek medical care in India, Europe or in Kenya. Whereas in the subregion tele-medicine prevails, a number of medical tests are made abroad due to lack of reference hospitals.
4 Education
Burundi has liberalized the education sector and there is freedom to invest in the establishment of schools, institutes and universities. With the integration of Burundi into the EAC, there are many Burundian students going to neighbor-ing countries or farther in Europe for quality education that is consistent with
BURUNDIWHERE INVESTMENTOPPORTUNITIESABOUND
9BURUNDI INFORMATION PACK
the needs of the labor market. The opening of vocational centers, capac-ity building centers in different fields or the development of partnerships with existing universities or institutes would be a big business!
5 Energy and mines Without energy, no development is possible. However, only 5% of the eight million people of Burundi have access to electricity. That is why the Government called investors to devel-op, operate and participate in the pro-duction of energy.
The country is overflowing with water and many rivers are suitable for the construction of hydroelectric dams. Let us also mention abundant wind for wind energy, plenty of sunshine for solar energy and other energy sources such as biogas and peat. Researches for the discovery of oil and gas in Lake Tanganyika and in the plain of Imbo are available opportunities.
It also fits to guide the investor to the subsoil that is full of nickel, col-tan, vanadium, gold, phosphates, car-
bonatite, cassiterite (as well as wol-framite and colombo-tantalite) and accompanying minerals (PGMs, land rare earth), various industrial minerals such as cement and ceramics.
6 General Trade
Bujumbura city has mini-markets and no supermarket. However, Burundians and foreigners living in the ever grow-ing capital (in terms of expansion of the city and the number of inhabitants) would be happy to have supermarkets with rays and services such as those that are the pride of the West.
7 Maritime Transport
Lake Tanganyika (the second deepest lake in the world after Lake Baikal) is an inland sea that binds Burundi to Tanzania, DRC and Zambia. This lake with fish (shrimp, frogs, Mukeke, Captain, Ndagala, Sangala etc.) and a large freshwater reservoir is a water-way that is suitable for transport of goods and can make of Bujumbura a business hub between Southern Africa and East Africa as well DRC. In addi-tion to the transport of goods, leisure boats and tours would benefit from the
10www.burunditourisme.com
lake through the transport of persons. 8 Agribusiness
Burundi imports almost everything while its plains and valleys match wonderfully with modern mechanized agriculture. Irrigation would be realized very easily with a generous rainfall and facilities to build reservoirs for rainwater.
A country with hills, valleys and swamps in the plains of Imbo and Moso, Burundi offers enormous potential for modern agriculture. The creation of large planta-tions of vegetables, fruit and horticulture would make of Burundi a real granary in the EAC.
The abundance of streams, lakes, rivers allows farmers to flood the local, region-al or international market with vegeta-bles, flowers, pineapples, tomatoes, rice and beans. You have to plan the process-ing of some products by creating con-ditioning units of tomatoes, pineapple, citrus and vegetables.
Popularization of oil palm and the intro-duction of Tenera species will contrib-ute to a substantial increase in the pro-duction of palm oil. This type of palm trees is harvested throughout the year and a refinery would have enough fruit to run at full blast.
9 Livestock and dairy processing
During the war, livestock has been dec-imated but an ambitious restocking of goats and cattle already is produc-ing results. Production of cow milk has increased significantly.
In different centers of the country, milk is collected in a rustic way with transport (bike or car) years back from what is prescribed by international standards! This sector calls for the creation of mod-ern farms, dairy products processing plants to produce in industrial quantities pasteurized milk or curd, yoghurt, but-ter, cheese, cattle feed etc.
10. Environmental Protection:
In Burundi, there is lack of specialized firms in waste treatment (household and
industrial) and recycling. Young people in the capital are organized into associ-ations with makeshift means to collect and transport garbage to a rubbish tip.
Protection of the environment and the waters of Lake Tanganyika by a regular and professional waste collection, trans-port and treatment is a major invest-ment opportunity in this that the chal-lenge does not only concern the city of Bujumbura, but all the chief towns of the 16 provinces and urban centers. And what about the production of fertilizers from waste or energy production? With its parks and natural forests, Burundi is also of interest to experts firms in car-bon trading!
11 ICT
Burundi has just connected to the sub-marine cable for the operation of inter-net by optical fiber. This new facility is a boon for investors willing to provide services through the sale of bandwidth and other business services, interna-tional organizations, schools and univer-sities as well as households.
12 Fishing
This sector expects huge investments. This market was set aside since the departure (in the 1990’s) of Greek ship-owners and fishermen.
Nowadays, fishing on Lake Tanganyika remains rustic and fruits from the lake are not processed or stored according to modern standards and technologies.
It is especially regrettable that many big fish in the lake are born, live and die filled days when they would delight both domestic and foreign consumers. There is no need to emphasize that the fish from Lake Tanganyika stands in the sub-region with its unparalleled flavor and purity.
13 Construction materials
Burundi imports cement, concrete bars, plates, nails, son tying, all plumbing equipments, etc. The construction of pri-vate and public infrastructure is always looking for quality building materials.

The famous Burundian Drummers are known for their high energy drumming performances that thrill audiences. This tradition was from the an-cient Burundian monarchy. The royal drummers played the drums to signal communication from the King. Today the drummers can be seen in Gishora near Gitega, their original homeland.
