Uganda has another opportunity to expose and market Uganda’s tourism potential to the world.
A media crew from the UK will soon visit to film the country’s tourism attractions featuring the source of the River Nile and its environs, Jinja town and Lake Victoria, for a popular BBC1 Prime Time travel series.

This development comes after the recent filming of Uganda’s tourist attractions by the US-based Discovery Channel, which film featured President Y.K. Museveni as the lead presenter of Uganda’s sites and tourist activities.

Industry commentators say that since the release of the Discovery Channel film there has been a significant increase in the number of visitors to Uganda and by end of 2005 the number of tourists was expected to hit 600,000.

The UTB General Manager, Mr. James Bahinguza said that the board is extremely pleased to get this exposure for Uganda on prime television in the United Kingdom, since Uganda recognizes the UK as one of its key markets. The filming is to be facilitated by Uganda Tourist Board.

The filming which is expected to start in March 2006 is to be produced by Tiger Aspect Productions, a leading independent television network in the UK and Victoria Wood, one of Britain’s popular comedians.
