Uganda, Kenya Seek to Complement Each Other to Maximise Tourism Potential
Uganda and Kenya have announced dates for the second edition of the Uganda-Kenya coast tourism conference set for November this year.
Speaking on Tuesday, the state minister for Foreign Affairs, John Mulimba said the conference is yet another opportunity for both countries to seek to maximise the tourism potential between them.
"Uganda possesses some unique tourism products that can be used to make it one of the world's leading tourist destinations. We possess some of the rarest primates in the world, Namugongo Martyrs shrines, source of River Nile and the rich culture, among others," Mulimba said.
"Kenya is Uganda's leading source market and last year alone, over 370,000 Kenyans visited Uganda for various reasons. Also, Uganda is Kenya's second leading source market after the USA. Just last year over 150,000 Ugandans visited Kenya and out of those 22,000 visited the Kenya Coast."
