Mutagamba calls for more investment in marketing Uganda’s tourism potential

The Minister of Tourism Wildlife and Antiquities, Hon Maria Mutagamba says there is a need to intensify marketing of Uganda’s tourism potential.

She says beyond external and domestic challenges affecting the sector, the country’s budgetary allocation to tourism is still too thin compared to what regional peers are investing in the sector.
This is in spite the current pressure to attract volume of visitors across the region under the single tourist visit.
