The reports showed that over 100,000 tourists get attracted to Uganda and this helps in adding 111% to the exports and 1.6% to the GDP of the country which helps in developing the economy of Uganda.The increase in the revenues was reached from the survey which was conducted from the data from the tourists leaving Uganda, and how much money they spent during their safaris in Uganda, all this proved that tourism is the leading sector in Uganda.The study identified that the tourists were mostly satisfied with their safari trips to Uganda, however, transport, poor visitor information and quality of customer service as the major problems still facing the tourism sector.
