He noted that Ugandans have a misconception that tourism trips are for foreigners only. He also said that Ugandans should enjoy these privileges before foreigners.

The trip budgeted at sh23m was co-sponsored by USAID-STAR and Power FM. Over 200 people participated in the competition. The winners were Prudence Sekoma, a front desk manager at Crested Towers, Oliver Kasita, an IT student at Makerere University, Nicholas Owori, also a student at Makerere, Allan Mugisha and Angel Semakula. They left the following day for a 4 days trip to Lake Mburo, Kibale and Queen Elizabeth National Parks.
