Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism Rizik Hassan said his ministry would assume the responsibility of managing the Dr. John Garang Mausoleum so that it can turn into a tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

Addressing the delegates during the fourth day of the national economic conference, Hassan said the ministry is working to create more tourist attraction sites and it has so far identified the mausoleum.<\/p>\n

Hassan told the conference that lack of funding had affected the growth of the tourism sector, which would earn the country a substantial amount of revenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen came to the office there were no proper tourism sites but we are trying to develop more sites, what we need now is proper funding,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

He added the ministry also faces challenges in the labour market where there is a skills gap which they intend to address through training.<\/p>\n

While the East African nations have been reaping handsome revenue from the tourism sector, South Sudan still lags behind due to a myriad of challenges\u2014mostly due to insecurity and lack of funding.<\/p>\n

For instance, according to a news report by Reuters published on February 22, 2023, Kenya will reap a whopping $3.3 billion from tourism by the end of this year. Uganda on the other hand expects a revenue of $712.6 million by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n
