The Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) CEO Juliana Kagwa has hailed President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for championing Uganda’s Tourism sector and reaffirming the country’s readiness to welcome the world to Uganda and explore Uganda.
Ms Juliana Kagwa was speaking after the President opened the 10th Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo (PAOTE) at Speke Resort Munyonyo on Thursday.
“Thank you, Your Excellency, for championing Uganda’s tourism sector and reaffirming our country’s readiness to welcome the world.
As we host the 10th Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo, we invite the world to experience Uganda’s diverse attractions with confidence.
Uganda remains open, safe, and ready to deliver authentic and unforgettable experiences from mountain gorillas and wildlife safaris, to adventure, night life, culture, and hospitality. #POATE2026 #ExploreUganda,” Juliana Kagwa said.
The President said he was glad to launch the 10th Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo at Munyonyo in Thursday.
“Uganda remains one of the most unique tourism destinations because of our favourable climate, rich culture, peace and natural beauty. Regarding Ebola, there is no cause for alarm. We are applying targeted measures and continuing to work scientifically to keep people safe while keeping our economy open. As our economy grows towards upper-middle-income status, we shall also improve the tourism experience, including friendlier visa arrangements to attract more visitors. I therefore welcome the world to come and explore Uganda, the Pearl of Africa,” President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni said.
