Abstract
Tourism is one of the world’s leading industries, and it contributes greatly to Uganda’s
economy. Like all service industries, the quality of service offered is vital for favorable
competition in the world market, and quality service delivery depends on the level of
training and professionalism of the service providers.
Tourism is also a practical field with high costs of training which raises the overall cost
of pursuing an education in tourism. In Uganda in particular, the cost of education is
increasing every year, especially at higher levels of learning. This high cost of training
makes government contribution to tourism training necessary for development of a
skilled workforce in the industry.
This study examines the government’s contribution to the Hotel and Tourism Training
Institute of Jinja, which is the only public institution established by MTTI to offer
training in hotel and tourism studies. This study examines the government’s contribution
to the institute, identifies various government policies aimed at facilitating it, examines
the challenges facing the institute and also provides recommendations from different
stakeholders in HTTI and the wider tourism industry on what can be done to overcome
those challenges and improve upon the training of students pursuing tourism studies in
the Institute and the Uganda as a whole.
