dc.description.abstractThis study explored the impact of political factors on the growth of Uganda’s tourism industry, with a focus on the Ruhija sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates qualitative data from interviews and focus group discussions with quantitative survey responses collected from stakeholders such as local residents, government representatives, and tourists. The findings indicate that while political stability has generally supported tourism development, certain political actions, such as the enactment of anti-gay legislation, have tarnished Uganda's reputation as a tourist destination. Furthermore, governance issues, including corruption and excessive taxation, impede sustainable tourism by undermining infrastructure development and community involvement. The study emphasizes the importance of transparent governance, enhanced infrastructure, and fair distribution of tourism benefits to improve visitor experiences and promote sustainable tourism. It offers practical recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders to address political challenges and foster a resilient tourism industry that supports economic development in Ruhija and Uganda at large.
