NO Tourism is a key driver in poverty reduction through job creation, generation of foreign earnings and provision of livelihoods to a significant proportion of the population in Uganda. Tourism has, in the recent past, doubled with the contribution to the economy estimated at 9 per cent of GDP with up to 23.5 per cent of the foreign exchange earnings. The Uganda Tourism Act was enacted in 2008 to provide, among others, the legal framework to guide the development of the tourism sector. Development of the sector is also recognized in Vision 2040 and the National Development Plans.
