| Summary: | The Government of Uganda is keen on
increasing the economic benefits derived from Uganda’s
tourism assets. These assets include the national parks, the
wildlife (a unique mixture of plains game and mountain
gorillas), and landscapes for hiking, as well as water and
adventure activities. Additional attractions include village
visits, cultural assets, religious gatherings, and
conference facilities. To support government policies aimed
at increasing tourism benefits, this analysis is based upon
an exit survey of visitors to Uganda in the 2019 high season
for tourism. The Government of Uganda recognizes tourism’s
potential and continues to prioritize tourism as one of the
country’s growth sectors. To better understand the tourism
development potential and monitor changes in tourism, two
tourism expenditure and motivation survey (TEMS) were
conducted in 2012 and 2019. Section one gives introduction.
The report compares the two surveys through a statistical
analysis in section two focused on the high season and an
economic analysis centered on all of 2012 and 2019 in
section three. Main findings from these analyses and
additional research in the form of literature reviews and
stakeholder feedback lead to policy recommendations for
further tourism development that can be implemented in the
short and medium term in section four. |
