 She says the facility is composed of shs62 billion, where the Uganda development bank has contributed shs40 billion, and the shs21.8 billion  grant has been extended to the government by the European Union.

 She says this is also intended to help the tour companies retain their workers who were laid off during the COVID-19 rock down.

The tourism sector contributes 7% to the country’s gross domestic product and also employs 6% of the population.
