Fatshimetrie, a name that resonates as an invitation to escape and discovery. It is in this spirit that the Minister of Tourism recently visited the Bombo-Lumene Hunting and Wildlife Reserve, located in the east of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This visit highlighted the importance of making tourism a vector of economic diversification for the country, rich in tourism potential.
Didier M’Pambia Musanga, the Minister of Tourism, expressed his desire to promote this exceptional site, conducive to ecotourism. Indeed, the Bombo-Lumene Reserve has many assets and it is essential to consider how to structure projects that will benefit the local population. The objective is clear: create jobs and stimulate economic development while preserving the environmental wealth of the region.
To achieve these ambitious objectives, the minister stressed the importance of support from national and international partners. This approach is part of the vision of President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, emphasizing the rehabilitation of existing tourist sites and the creation of new infrastructure to boost the tourism industry.
The Bombo-Lumene Reserve has a rich history, dating back to its creation in 1968. However, over the years, wildlife has fallen victim to poaching, leading to the disappearance of some iconic species. Despite these challenges, the site remains an enchanting place where nature reclaims its rights, offering visitors an enchanted break from urban hustle and bustle.
The current management of the Bombo-Lumene foundation has made it possible to revitalize this natural heritage, once again attracting the fauna and flora which make this place so rich. Today, the Bombo-Lumene Reserve is a true biodiversity sanctuary where everyone can recharge their batteries and reconnect with nature.
In conclusion, the visit of the Minister of Tourism to the Bombo-Lumene Reserve illustrates the government’s desire to make tourism a lever for economic and social development. By promoting these natural treasures, the Democratic Republic of Congo is opening new perspectives for the future, combining environmental preservation, job creation and promotion of responsible tourism. Through initiatives such as this, the country is positioning itself as an essential destination for nature lovers and explorers in search of authenticity.
