Wooden sculptures are displayed as souvenirs at Musee Vivant de Bujumbura (the Living Museum of Bujumbura), in Bujumbura, Burundi, on March 14, 2022. - Burundi is classified as the poorest nation in the world in terms of GDP per capita, according to the World Bank. But here too, as in other countries, young people, who make up the majority of Burundi's population, are increasingly connected. Launched in 2021, the VisitBurundi initiative brings together around a dozen volunteers who organise trips for large groups of visitors, help to spruce up tourist destinations and, above all, broadcast Burundi's charms to the world. The team is inspired by Dubai, where influencers thronged to beaches and bars even during the pandemic. Bujumbura is not yet Dubai, but the prospects for tourism, domestic and international, are looking up. (Photo by Yasuyoshi Chiba / AFP)
