The tourism industry has long been a male-dominated space, but change is happening. Women around the world are breaking barriers, stepping into leadership roles, and reshaping the sector. In Rwanda, Kadoo Travel and Tours is taking a bold step in this transformation with its Her in Tourism initiative—a free two-month training program designed exclusively for women who aspire to become tour drivers and guides.

Why Women in Tourism?

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries globally, offering immense opportunities for economic empowerment. However, women often face barriers such as limited access to training, cultural stereotypes, and fewer opportunities for leadership positions. Her in Tourism aims to change that narrative by equipping women with the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to thrive in this field.

What the Program Offers

This intensive training program is tailored to help women gain hands-on experience and industry knowledge. Participants will receive:

  • Practical driving skills for tour guiding, ensuring they meet industry standards.
  • Guided training on customer service, hospitality, and storytelling to provide exceptional experiences to tourists.
  • Lessons on Rwandan history, culture, and wildlife to become knowledgeable and engaging guides.
  • Networking opportunities with professionals in the tourism and hospitality industry.
  • Certification upon completion, opening doors to employment and entrepreneurship in tourism.

Who Can Apply?

The Her in Tourism program is open to passionate and ambitious women in Rwanda who want to build a career in the tourism sector. Whether you’re a recent graduate, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone looking to switch careers, this initiative is designed to provide you with the necessary skills to succeed.

The Impact of Her in Tourism

By empowering women in tourism, Kadoo Travel and Tours is not just helping individuals; it’s contributing to a more diverse, inclusive, and dynamic industry. Women bring unique perspectives, exceptional hospitality, and a deep cultural understanding that enhances the travel experience for visitors. This program is a stepping stone towards a future where women are well-represented and respected in the tourism workforce.
