Responsible tourism has also turned the mountain gorillas in to valuable commodity which is priced by the local people and the government at the same time, the mountain gorillas , through the mountain gorilla safaris carried , have helped to provide much funding for the infrastructures like roads and providing employment opportunities to the locals.
Responsible tourism combines many things including; ecotourism, proper management of the National Park and many other things which help to conserve and preserve the mountain gorillas. Responsible tourism especially in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a key factor which will helped to increase the number of mountain gorillas in Bwindi hence increasing the number of mountain gorilla tracking expeditions/ adventures to Uganda.
