Tourism state Minister Kiwanda, who over the years has ventured into numerous tourism potentials that have at times erupted criticisms by some citizens such as the controversial “Miss Curvy” Tourism competition and the marketing of Uganda Lorex, seems to never run short of tourism ideas.
Following the Africa Kwetu trek that involved President Museveni, government officials together with well-wishers through the juggles of Luwero, the previously prearranged march aimed at retracing the steps of his guerrilla forces would be turned into a tourism venture with at least three museums on the 195km route according to Mr Godfrey Kiwanda, the State minister for Tourism.
According to the minister, the trek will be documented by the Tourism ministry and the story told to the public.
“That is why my entire key members are here; Uganda Tourism Board and Uganda Museum. We are also going to build a museum in Nakaseke, Kiboga, Kakumiro districts and Kabamba because that is our history,” Mr Kiwanda said during the trek in Bukomero, Kiboga District.
Mr Kiwanda said his ministry would also formally open up the trek for others to take part. “I have had the chance to see the reality on ground and after this, we shall get back and see how we can officially launch trek,” he said.
More so, according to the minister, his ministry would engage Bush War survivors to, among other things, serve as tour guides to help ease the stories.
“Once we are done with what we call ‘product identification,’ we shall get the guides, the survivors to give first-hand narrative, and all these will be paid for their service,” he noted.
