UWA had proposed that tourists should be given a chance of obtaining the gorilla permits online instead of following a long bureaucratic path that discourages them.The leader of Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO),Boniface Byamukama,they advised the government to deal with the vital issues that are affecting tourism like infrastructure development instead of finding ways of denying them business in their own country.They advised the government to pick a leaf from other countries like Rwanda and Kenya where the governments promote the marketing of Tourism.This is the reason why there are more Rwanda Safaris compared to those of Uganda.
This meeting ended up with a conclusion that Dr Edward Seguya should be impeached as the executive director of Uganda Wildlife Authority because he is incompetent.The different tour operators are planning to collect signatures from different authorities to show their seriousness.

A peak season in Uganda leads to and increase in Rwanda Safaris too because some visitors while Uganda decide to extend their trip to " the land of a thousand hills".
One of the leading attractions that both Uganda and Rwanda boast of are the mountain gorillas that are hard to find in other countries.These magnificent primates are good to look at and they have led to an increase in the National Income of both countries.
