- positive portrayal
- nature and beauty
- honest guides
- shop variety
- high prices
- import duties
- poverty framing
- few malls or tourist amenities

- Diaspora commenters are happy to see the country shown positively.
- Many commenters are engaging with a single travel channel rather than residents.

“Nobody showcases Burundi this way. They only tell the whole world that it is is the poorest country in the world. I hope they have a stable government now who should make it a duty to attract tourists to the beautiful country.”
