Can Sport Sponsorship impact Tourism ? Visit Rwanda Partnering with Arsenal F.C Curious to read about other similar cases. #Sport #Football #ArsenalFC #Sponsorship #SportandTourism #Rwanda Michaella Rugwizangoga, Juliet Slot, Francis Gatare, Irene Murerwa

Visit Rwanda Sponsorship with Arsenal F.C In May 2018, the government of Rwanda, signed a £10 million per year sponsorship deal with Arsenal FC for three years on the left sleeve of Arsenal’s shirts. Many were taken aback by this move, as ✅ Why Did Rwanda Choose Arsenal? -Visibility and Reach: Arsenal has a global fanbase of +200 million, with its matches broadcast across 215 countries. -Target Market: Arsenal’s matches attract affluent viewers who are the type of travelers Rwanda aims to attract for its (luxury safaris) ✅ The Financial Impact on Rwanda's Economy -Tourism revenues in Rwanda grew by 21.5% in 2019 to reach $636 million compared by $497 million in 2017 -Rwanda saw a 22% rise in European visitors just a year after the deal ✅ Digital and Media Impact - Social Media Exposure: The sponsorship generated over 4.7 billion social media impressions in the first year alone. On average, "Visit Rwanda" posts received 35% higher engagement than typical Arsenal content. - Search Increases: Google searches for "Visit Rwanda" saw a 300% rise during Arsenal match days. ✅ Return on Investment & Objectives -The sponsorship paid for itself in the first year. Rwanda invested £30 million for a three-year sponsorship deal, while the marketing exposure in the first year alone was valued at £32 million. -By the end of the 3rd year, the total media value for Rwanda was £100 million. -Arsenal players from the men’s and women’s teams visited Rwanda and club coaches to host coaching camps to support the development of the game for boys and girls in the country.

Tonight we were very lucky to hear from Heather Brooks Karatz, Stephen Malik, Angela Ruggiero, and Leo Rifkind on a panel discussing "Unlocking the Value in Women's Sports". It was fascinating to hear different perspectives on the opportunities and challenges in this growing industry. From the importance of capturing and analysing data to how we can balance the immense power of story telling in respect of both individual's and teams, we learned about many aspects that may cross the pond and impact the Women's sports sector in UK/Europe. Thank you to Chiron Sports Group and our SA President Zhen Ren Teo for bringing the event to life! It was a captivating evening! PS. It was a virtual panel so we don't have fancy LinkedIn worthy photos but everyone's smiles below are a reflection of the night!
