Uganda to Charge Gorilla Trackers

{{Gorilla trackers in Uganda will soon be charged US$24 for each person aimed at addressing the problem of inadequate funding but also boost revenue collections.}}

According to local media reports, the country’s Tourism Board (UTB) wants the Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to charge $20 and $4 respectively for each person tracking gorillas.

The UTB executive director, Mr Cuthbert Baguma Balinda, said ,“We are moving from lamenting about inadequate funding for marketing to considering alternative ways.”
