On the occasion of World Tourism Day will UWA once again offer three days of free entry to all national parks in Uganda, applicable for Ugandans. East African citizens and Uganda’s foreign residents.
UWA’s Director of Tourism and Business Development also pointed out that domestic tourism is critical for Uganda’s economic recovery, particularly following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent Ebola outbreak as well as negative international travel advisories, which led to a sharp decline in tourism revenues in Uganda.
The open park days project seeks to reverse these negative trends by encouraging Ugandans as well as foreign residents in Uganda to appreciate and explore the country’s rich biodiversity across national parks and game reserves.
