Kenya tourism secretary Dr. Nelson Githinji recently said that Uganda tourism sector grew by 25% in 2011, a commendable performance compared to other countries like South Africa which recorded only 21% growth.

“One of the primary reasons for this impressive growth was the country’s increasing stability and the guaranteed security it offers to tourists,”stated Githinji.

Uganda is a country located in the African Great Lakes Region, and focuses its tourism industry on wildlife and nature destinations. The country’s national parks draw about 200,000 visitors each year.

It is important for the country to have a sustainable growth, you can
