			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Uganda&#8217;s Ministry of Tourism has identified marine tourism as an area that needs more focus as the world prepares to celebrate the World Tourism Day. Uganda has not exploited the tourism potential on its water bodies due to the fat that they are in abundance. Mr. Muzahura Godwin, the Marketing and Public Relations Manager of Uganda Tourism Board said that this day will be used to start displaying the importance of marine tourism and the Source of the Nile as a way of expanding the tourism sector.</p>
<p>These celebrations will take place at the source of the River Nile in Jinja. He added by saying that having Jinja as the venue for the event is not a mistake being that historically the Source of the Nile has been a major tourist attraction though struggled to attract tourists. This event will promote domestic tourism in general and marine tourism in particular.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Uganda Wildlife Authority has called upon firms that are interested in developing and managing balloon tourism in the <a title="wildlife viewing" href="http://www.gorillatours.co.ug/uganda-safaris-trips/uganda-gorillas-wildlife-safari.html" target="_blank">Lake Mburo National Park</a>. The National Park occupies 260 sq km and is positioned in the Southeast part of Uganda, along the main road between Masaka and Mbarara. It has both animal life and natural lakes. It is famed for both a huge number of animals including hippos, crocodile, antelopes, abundant bird species and, unusual fauna and flora. Balloon tourism will be relatively new in Uganda being that it already exists in both Kenya and Tanzania.
