Recently published figures suggest that the contributions made by the tourism industry to the Ugandan GDP has risen from 2013 to 2014 by 0.8 trillion Uganda Shillings, reaching 6.3 trillion shillings overall.
This comes on the back of increased arrival numbers which for 2014 reached 1,266 million visitors, up from the previous year when the country received 1,206 million visitors. Visitors are not equated with mainstream tourists.
In percentage terms, the sectoral contribution, in spite of being poorly facilitated, has reached just under 10 percent of the country’s GDP, making it increasingly important vis-a-vis investments and job creation.
