Uganda boasts of substantial natural resources which provide it with a comparative advantage over its neighbors in the tourism industry.

Uganda currently has more than 3,200 established tourism sites, but transport to most of them remains a big challenge. Tourism’s direct contribution to Gross Domestic Product stands at 834 million dollars, representing 4% of total country’s GDP.
