At Tourilla Tours, it’s all about connecting people with amazing travel experiences in Uganda and beyond, where they can explore all the beautiful things this part of the world has to offer - the different cultures, the diversity of nature and wildlife and everything in between.
However, with the growing tourism industry comes the responsibility to preserve and protect the environment, wildlife, and local communities. So, we're also all about protecting this gorgeous country while we're at it.
Sustainable tourism is defined as “tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities”. It is about finding a balance between economic development, environmental protection, cultural sensitivity, and social responsibility. In Uganda, sustainable tourism has become a priority as the country works to preserve its biodiversity and protect its unique wildlife habitats.
Tourilla Tours was started with exactly this belief. Sustainable tourism practices are essential in ensuring that the country remains a prime destination for years to come. With half the world's population of mountain gorillas living in Uganda, we're doing our best to make sure that your trip helps protect these endangered animals and the country's overall biodiversity. We think that traveling can have a big positive impact on the environment if it's done sustainably, and our goal is to lead by example. In this article, we will discuss how we as a tour operator and tourists alike can play their part in promoting sustainable tourism in Uganda.
