"The world is today a global village", so says the slogan. People today want to know what happens in other parts of the world. They move swiftly to visit others. They communicate faster through Information and Communication Technology.As people move, they seek safe accommodation for their lives and property in whichever place they reach. Travelling and tourism has become a looming business.
Because of this new movement phenomenon, abled and rich persons are busy constructing hotels, eating houses, and lodges for accommodation. In all towns, municipalities, cities and including trading centres, people are busy constructing houses to meet the rising demand.
In Moroto Municipality, despite mushrooming lodges and eating houses, makeshifts and slums, there are two reknown hotels: Mount Moroto and Lesolona. Mount Moroto hotel is at the foot of Mt.Moroto. It lies at a good scenery for those visitors and clients who need quiteness and viewing the ecology/environment of the mountain.
Meanwhile, Leslona is at the heart of the municipality where visitors/clients can interact with the core residents of the municipality.
It is notable that visitors/clients choose place according to their interest and financial position. Others choose places for certain specified activties such as weddings, workshops/seminars and leisure.
The trend today in Moroto Municipality is that many landlords who had houses for rent have booted out their tenants have turned houses for lodges in order to get more money. Landlords have discovered that there is more money in lodges than from tenants.
Because of shortage of accomodation, most people including high ranking employees have resorted into renting and living in slum areas. Slums are also mushrooming drastically.
It is, however, notable that abled and rich persons are busy constructing houses to meet the rising demand of the people.
