My dreams for the future in tourism
Prosper shares his vision for the future — building a tour company, creating jobs, and helping vulnerable people in his community through tourism.
“About my dreams — as I told you, I want to become successful in tourism through very many different ways. Guiding and other tourism-related sectors. One of my core dreams is to one day find myself having a very big organization, a tour company, or any organization in tourism that helps other people who are in need. Another thing related to that is, one day, if everything comes together, I want to have a very good polished road around Buhoma, so that it can generate many opportunities for people who are in need, or those who are vulnerable. That is one of my best dreams. And then another thing is a company of my own — a tourist company — where I can employ different people from different places, according to their needs or specialties. Those are among my dreams for the future. The high season is coming in now, so maybe I get some good safaris, and I see how my experience will be increasing in tourism and in guiding.”
