River Nile source to be in control of the Ugandan government

  

Growing complaints from local Uganda tours and international tourists over high charges levied for visitors to the source of River Nile in eastern region of the Uganda tours, this has forced the government to take over the management of the area.  This on the other hand gives hope to the UgandaTours

Prominent Uganda tours attraction- River Nile, the longest river in the world, starts from an area close to the town of Jinja, 80 kilometers east of the capital Kampala. The area attracts hundreds to Uganda tours of both local and international tourists annually.
But in recent years many, especially locals, have been unable to visit this Ugandatours attraction site due to the heavy sums of money levied by local authorities for entry into the site.  "When I was a student, 25 years ago, we used to freely visit the source of the Nile" said Solomon Mbala, a 50 year-old a primary school teacher gives his highlight about Ugandatours


Foreign fanatics of Uganda tours have also complained about the high charges with locals expressing discontent over the local council's decision to charge school children visiting the site however this is not a good image for Uganda tours both locally and internationally.
"The local council charges school children who want to have a look at the source of the Nile. It should be discouraged," Mbala added. This is not right since the little ones should develop the heart for Ugandatours to preserve nature.

Speaking in an interview about Uganda tours on Monday, Uganda's minister of Tourism, Maria Mutagamba said the government will take over management of the site next year. This will create the opportunity for to  boost Uganda tours.  Jinja municipal council charges foreign tourists over US$20 per tour and US$5 for locals and students.
According to Uganda tours records, River Nile was recently declared one of the seven natural wonders on the African continent by the president of the Texas-based Seven Natural Wonders organization, Philip Imler. At a ceremony held on 11 February, in Arusha Tanzania, the Nile was recognized as the longest river in the world- good news for Uganda tours
 
"With the ranking, the government is to double its efforts towards Ugandatours conserving the resources to attract more tourists for years," Mutagamba said.
