The government recognises the importance of cultural tourism, as an avenue to share with the rest of the world, the cultural heritage of Rwanda. Being a young sector, the strategic plan seeks to address several latent challenges; "insufficient research and documentation on cultural heritage, lack of infrastructures for exhibitions of cultural heritage and cultural expressions, insufficient infrastructures facilitating access to historical and cultural sites, lack of coordination in data management, fast deterioration of sites due to unfavourable climate and human activity, and insufficient managerial and administrative skills of professionals".
