Series Information
Development of the tourism database and related Management Information Systems are being undertaken as a key priority by the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry (MTTI). To this end, a number of surveys were conducted by the Ministry between 2001 and 2003, through its Protected Areas Management and Sustainable Use (PAMSU) project, to obtain baseline information on the sector. The key surveys conducted are: (i) Inventory of Accommodation Establishments; (ii) Inventory of Non-Accommodation Tourism Related Establishments; (iii) Inventory of Currently Exploited and Potential Attractions; and (iv) Expenditure and Motivation Surveys (2001 and 2003).
Abstract
The 2003 Consolidated Expenditure and Motivation Survey provides baseline statistics on general characteristics of tourist visitors to Uganda.
The data from both surveys was combined to produce a single combined report. The strategy of combining the survey results was intended to provide more reliable statistics for reference in the five-year medium-term period.
One of the key findings of the survey is that in 2003 the country received a total of at least US dollars 265.35 million as tourist expenditures in the country, excluding all expenditures made abroad. Further analysis indicated that tourism contributed about 4.0 percent to the country's Gross Domestic product. The contribution to foreign exchange earnings of the country was 29.1 percent, excluding all donor financing and remittances of externalized manpower.
To guide planning and policy, five year (2004 -2008) forecasts of tourist arrivals and corresponding receipts have been made and included in this report.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The systematic sampling survey technique was used; and involved interviewing every 8th, 10th and 9th departing tourist at Entebbe Airport, Malaba and Busia, respectively. Error terms (desired precision) were fixed at 2 percent and 3 percent, for air and road transport, respectively. The lower error term of 2% was set for Entebbe because of the higher tourist traffic experienced there compared to the road traffic. A 95 percent confidence level was adopted during the survey design.
Deviations from the Sample Design

The combined total of 7735 respondents was realized. The three entry/exit points realized 4327, 1850 and 1558 respondents for Entebbe International Airport, Malaba and Busia, respectively.
