Uganda: 2016 - Uganda Will Be a Hot Tourist Destination

Uganda, according to Business Insider, will be among the 12 key destinations that tourists must look out for in 2016 if they are to get value for their money.

Uganda is getting there and indeed the power is now with us to flaunt our tourism industry.
Just like in the last few years, Uganda continues to do well on the global charts in terms of having some of the world's tourism hotspots.

"2016 is all about emerging destinations. Wilderness, wildlife and culture; these themes will illuminate the year's travel itineraries," Anisha Shah, a broadcast journalist and photojournalist, specialising in travel to emerging destinations wrote in her article on Business Insider.

Anisha further explained “Half the world’s wild mountain gorillas inhabit Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Trekking to see them is a wildlife experience of a lifetime. The larger-than-life, humanlike gorillas and chimps induce an indescribable affection for nature. Uganda sits on the corridor of migration, it’s national parks, Queen Elizabeth and Kidepo Valley, attracting much wildlife. Gushing Murchison Falls, Jinja’s source of the River Nile and Explosion Crater Lakes turn the landlocked nation into a lush oasis.

Head to Ngamba Island Chimp Sanctuary, an island in Lake Victoria, crossing the equator on the boat there, to meet orphaned and rescued chimps living in a pristine island paradise.

Uganda beats Spain in UK tourism poll

An international online survey conducted by The Guardian, one of UK’s leading newspapers, has established that Uganda is a better holiday destination than Spain.

The poll was conducted last week by the online version of the paper, the second most popular UK newspaper website, with a daily average of 2,937,070 browsers.

Answering the poll question “where would you prefer to go on holiday?”, 79% of the respondents said they would rather visit Uganda than head to Spain.

The 79% alluded to Uganda’s beauty, wildlife, scenery, culture, the hospitable people and the landscape from the snowcapped
Mountain Rwenzori to the open savannah, as the lure to the diverse country sitting astride the Equator.

“For perfect weather galore all year round, I would go with Uganda. Before we even get to the physical scenery, being the most ethnically diverse country in the world, each of its people has a rich culture to marvel at. For those who think you can find the same physical features in Spain, there is only one River Nile the last time I checked. Spain is beautiful too, but I think Uganda is a bigger package!” said Concon Berries.

Those who backed Spain said it houses the world’s grandest, most powerful and incomparable architectural treasures, such as the Great Mosque of Cordoba. Some of them argued that Ugandans were homophobic.

Most respondents rubbished talk of Uganda being homophobic as “populist”, “narrow” and “ignorant”. “While people talk about the country being homophobic, it is really just talk. Otherwise, enjoy the boom in arts and culture, poetry, music, drama. The people are friendly. That is no lie,” said Joel Benjamin.

The Guardian conducted the poll after President Yoweri Museveni last week said Uganda is a better tourist destination than Spain.
In an opinion piece published in the New Vision on Wednesday, Museveni criticised tourism officials for merely promoting Uganda as having “only some chimpanzees and so on”.

To establish how the two countries compare, BBC found out that as Uganda grew by 5.2%, Spain recessed by 0.1%. Spain had an unemployment rate of 24% to Uganda’s 4.2%. Spain fared better in life expectancy at birth and per capita income. As Spain exported industrial goods, Uganda exported raw agricultural produce.
BBC based its findings on reports by World Bank, United Nations, International Monetary Fund, CIA World Factbook and BBC country profiles.

Uganda has got another accolade in tourism this 2014. Water rafting and kayaking on River Nile have been rated the top tourism activities for adventure in Africa 2014 by the Guardian Travel Magazine. Jinja gaining reputation as the extreme sports capital of East Africa.
Some of the many reasons why its top are- the water flows all year round, dam controlled water giving consistency of the rapids. There is something for everyone regardless of ability or confidence level.
