Yes, @kasujja , you are 100% on the money, but... There are many reasons why domestic tourism isn't taking off. What can be done: 1. Roads leading to tourist attractions have to be functional and safe. 2. Along these roads, there is a dire need for tourist rest areas with functional and clean toilets. 3. Safe transport is critical. Comfortable buses will help domestic tour operators to organise bigger groups per destination. 4. A deep dive into the history and culture will help develop domestic tourism content. 5. Tourism branding: rest spaces with learning spots, write-ups about the area, what to see in the vicinity, etc. 6. Safe and affordable accommodation for groups of 60-80 people - do we have that? 7. Shift focus from busy national parks to Uganda's natural beauties - so many hills, lakes, waterfalls. Build activities around these. 8. Demarcation and promotion of camping sites, including security. Why are we not camping anywhere? 9. Village tourism - immersion in homes, villages, customs, cultures. Enable villages to become budget hosts. I can probably go on, but one thing that stands out for me in the tourism sector is that everyone involved seems to be an isolated island. Collaboration and combining offerings for large groups at the same rate is where domestic tourism may begin to thrive. But if a journey will take a full day, then forget it. People are under pressure as it is. The stress of losing two days on our roads just to get to a place and back is too painful. Anyway. Food for thought. You are onto something.

Uganda Named Official Destination Sponsor for CAF AFCON 2027. Uganda has secured Official Destination Sponsor rights for TotalEnergies CAF AFCON PAMOJA 2027 through a landmark partnership between the Uganda Tourism Board @TourismBoardUg and CAF @CAF_Online . Co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania from 19th June to 17th July 2027, the tournament offers an unprecedented global spotlight, bringing the Explore Uganda brand to an estimated audience of over 3 billion people worldwide across broadcast, digital, and stadium platforms. Uganda Tourism Board CEO @JulzKagwa described AFCON 2027 as the country's largest tourism marketing opportunity in a generation. The strategy centers on welcoming fans, teams, media, and officials not just as spectators, but as tourists who will experience Uganda’s premier wildlife, rich culture, local cuisine, and natural beauty. Stressing the long term vision, Minister of State for Tourism Hon. Susan Nakawuki Nsambu @MTWAUganda called on the sector to create competitive travel packages combining football with signature Ugandan experiences. "Let us use this agreement to build lasting relationships and market momentum that will continue bringing visitors to Uganda long after the final whistle blows." The goal remains clear, convert international visibility into direct bookings, economic growth, job creation, and sustainable tourism momentum. #AFCON2027 #ExploreUganda #Pamoja2027

RWENZORI MARATHON 2026 MONEY IDEAS FOR YOU MAKERERE UNIVERSITY - UN GLOBAL PULSE ONE TELCOM If you have followed me for long, you will realize I love figure, if you can’t measure what you do in real figures, then you might be lying to yourself. This year, RWENZORI MARATHON worked with UN GLOBAL PULSE, MAKERERE UNIVERSITY AND one of the telcoms in Uganda. The full research findings are coming out this week according to UN GLOBAL PULSE team but some ideas below according to preliminary findings. We had over 8200 registered runners from 49 countries like I have told you and our target was 8k only for RWENZORI MARATHON 2026. Working with one telcom, the total figures of people who turned up were 37,000 and around 9.30am, there were 18k people at the finish line. 70% of the people who went to KASESE for RWENZORI MARATHON used the northern route and that’s through Mityana , Mubende, Fortportal route. 30% of the people who went to kasese for RWENZORI MARATHON 2026 used the south route and that’s through masaka, Mbarara, bushenyi. According to research ushs 500m was spent only on the routes and it’s amazing how these figures were captured, I have always told you when people move money moves. In kasese between 6am and 6pm on the day of the marathon, ushs 9bn changed hands and this is based on one telcoms( we don’t have figures from the other telcom) and this doesn’t include spend in Fortportal, bushenyi, Rubirizi , ishaka and yes some people stayed in Mbarara. When the final findings come out, my expectations of how much money was earned in total could be around ushs 37bn but let me not bias the researchers before they disclose full figures. That should include spend by runners from different borders like Malaba , Busia and Entebbe airport, spend in Kampala etc Close to 1600 went to kasese during the Rwenzori marathon and just imagine each car used ushs 700k averagely, TOTAL OR SHELL UGANDA should pick interest in Rwenzori marathon. Now that we have support from ministry of sports and education for marketing internationally specifically and aggressive marketing is on going, imagine what next year will look like God willing? @OgwangOgwang There has been a problem before every RWENZORI MARATHON time from Covid, rebel stories, Ebola twice, imagine we had one peaceful year, think of what this marathon would do to this economy?
