• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the wish of the Ministry is to be able to get more resources from the Treasury to improve on the budget for domestic tourism promotion. However, you will realise that the amount of money given to the Ministry for marketing tourism is very little compared to our major markets that we compete with here in Africa. For example, if you compare what we spend with what South Africa or Egypt spends, we are way below them. So, we are forced to spend more money to attract international tourists than the local tourists. But I would like to ... view

• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have what we call “The Tourism Satellite Accounts” that basically focus on international arrivals only. So, the information I have for you here is actually for international tourists and not local tourists. At the point when they are checking into our hotels, if you look at all the forms or cards that one fills, it is very clear whether you are a citizen or visitor. So, that is what we use within the Tourism Satellite Accounts. view

• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very important question. It is true that we have been having legal challenges on the status of TTF. This is because the TTF was founded purely to implement projects under the European Union (EU) which came to completion last year but one. So, as a result, there is no money that is coming to the TTF. But I want to assure the hon. Members here that the Ministry is currently engaged in serious discussions with the Treasury to see how we can get the TTF funded by the Government and continue to provide the ... view
