Jinja, 19th May 2017 – Turkey’s Ambassador to Uganda Ms Sedef Yavuzalp has pledged to partner with Jinja Municipality and Busoga Kingdom to develop tourism sites in the sub-region to attract more tourists to learn and spend more time in the area.
Ms Sedef who visited the Source of the Nile on Sunday through the invitation of Jinja Municipality Mayor Majid Batambuze and Busoga Kingdom minister of Tourism Ms Hellen Namutamba, said Turkey is looking forward to be part of tourism developments of Jinja.
