Who does not like 
going out there on the wild waters of Lake Victoria and get involved in that excting fishing despite the threat of crocs? Freaks, yes. Brig.Kasirye Ggwanga's smile on his fishing expeditions in Kalangala Islands just tells it all . This is the face of Uganda's tourism potential to the outside world. It is our potential outlook to the world. This is what they want. But we have to put in place incentives to make it attrative to them. The capital city can get a face lift by having its roads fixed indeed because its the first point of contact for our visitors as they radiate out to remote places. The power black outs really are not good and this honesly like many others require a strategic response. Unnecesarry political clashes among our usual beligerents are not welcome. I am talking about violent skirmishes between the police, black-mambas, supporters and non-supporters. We can do this in conference rooms, wearing our best suits and talking like civilized people indeed we are. We must work very hard to reduce this seemingly violent out look in resolving our petty domestic differences. We can copy Botswana's model here. It works!!! Tourists Enjoying it in Banda Island.

We need to re-package our domestic situation better. We need the right attitude. The hotel industry must be up to the task to accommodate our visitors in a professional and hospitable manner. And Ugandans themselves must love what they posses. The chinese are their own biggest market in their own tourism industry. We may not afford this in the short term but it makes sense to see us enjoy what we have, that indeed we are friends of our environment. Reason we are not at the moment is because our attention is misdirected and there is not an organized way to focus on our most valuable strategic advantage to the world.
Gorrillas in Mugahinga NP.Uganda.
Uganda is endowed with the most awesome ecological potential for her growth. Her beautiful sceneries ofmountain ranges, her dense moist tropical forests, a diverse fauna and flora which can be exploited not only for a potentially lucrative tourism industry but also for tropical research in medicine and other fields.
The hospitality industry world over is shaped by an intergrated policy that over sees the establishment of a robust infrastructure in transport, Information and Communications Technology, good and affordable accommodation.
Security of tourists is a very crucial and hopitality must be an intergrated culture. Uganda has a number of national parks with such Bwindi Impenetrable forests home to 60% of the world's remaining Gorrillas. The country has both national parks and game reserves in all regions of the country. But strategic investment in this industry requires a focussed and concerted approach and a re-orientation of those manning the state.

Leadership is a vital aspect of our entire development process because in requires national planning and squarely on the shoulders of those who seek public office. They will need to be humble and work for country and plan for the long term future of the country. It is these efforts that will help re-shape the face of Uganda and Africa for the long term as true partner.
