Serapio Rukundo, State Minister for Tourism has asked the government to fund priority sectors of tourism.
The three areas, he said, are Tourism organisation, which currently stands at $260,000 (Shs478 million), Common Market for East and Southern Africa, which they say needs $380,000 (about Shs699 million) and United Nations Industrial Development Organisation that they say needs a budget of $11,000 (aboutShs20 million).
Rukundo said the tourism sector was missing out on a number of international exposure due to lack of funding. All this, he said, arise from the countries indebtedness in some areas of the sector.
