    Tourism has emerged as a key driver of economic development in Uganda, with Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and its surrounding communities offering a compelling case study. The park's gorilla trekking tourism has attracted international visitors, generating significant revenue that supports both national and local economies. For the surrounding communities, tourism has created employment, improved infrastructure, and spurred small-scale businesses such as handicrafts, hospitality, and guiding services. Additionally, the integration of local communities in conservation efforts has ensured a sustainable model where both economic growth and environmental protection thrive. This case study underscores the transformative impact of tourism in Uganda, fostering inclusive economic development while promoting conservation.
