All my life i chose to raise up a hand everytime “Tourism in Uganda” is mentioned
Starting Uganda Uncovered was just to inspire my friends & relatives to #ExploreUganda , this moved far beyond them to the whole country, now we have impacted more than 500 youths in Uganda
We made the Uganda Uncovered merchandise that massively spread in the industry & even cut across borders…
We became Uganda’s official travel plug
We sold Uganda through print
We started Kampala Tourism walks, driving a campaign that we live with Tourism everyday, one needn’t to visit national parks to #ExploreUganda , but also visit places around him
We exposed Kampala Tourism
Launch the #KampalaMonunentWalk & the #RoyalMileWalk with Buganda Heritage and Tourism Board
When #Covid came, we thought of how 2 transport u adventure seekers to the many beautiful places in uganda while seated in your house, bse we couldn’t move anymore, the #TravelWritingCompetitions came in to create stories by Ugandans, 4 Ugandans & those who wish 2 #ExploreUganda
This year we held the 3rd edition of the #TravelWritingCompetitions that attracted 206 submissions of youth travel writers
Remember, a country is best sold by its natives
We have held #HertimeChatSeries to bring together ladies in Tourism to talk about issues & have common solutions
We have a community of about 250 young ladies in Tourism
We have visited universities, engaged with Tourism internship students with UWEC, Hanze Tours, Makerere University, to help them with career building in Tourism
