Idris Elahalafi, the deputy general manager, Tropical Bank said that “As we recover after the revolution, we want to send a ray of hope to the youth in Libya through such cultural exchanges that there can be peace and reconciliation after war. He continued to say that more Libyan tourists would visit Uganda once an ambassador is appointed.
Just like in many other nations, there is still no official Libyan ambassador to Uganda, but we are optimistic that soon this issue will be sorted out so that we can boost trade and cultural exchange visits among the two nations,” he said. This will help in increasing Gorilla safaris as well since most tourists who come to Uganda mostly wish to view the Gorillas.

All these are strong pillars in promoting tourism in any destination.
