Of the population of the Burunga mountains, Rwanda occupies 62 of the population of gorillas. This endangered species has greatly contributed to the country's tourism industry, and the Government of Rwanda aims to secure the safety and long-term sustainability of its gorilla population. According to Rwanda's high-end sightseeing strategy, price hikes are aimed at strengthening the protection activities and contributing more to the development of the community around the volcanic national park. With the new fee, the tourist revenue share of the community near the park will increase from 5% to 10%, which will be four times the absolute income the community receives.
