Uganda’s hospitality industry is experiencing a significant boost, thanks to the growing number of festivals and events taking place across the country.
From marathons to expos, these events are attracting thousands of visitors, filling hotel rooms, and generating revenue for local businesses.
The Impact of Festivals on Hotel Occupancy:
Recent data shows that hotel occupancy rates in Uganda increase significantly during festival periods. For example:

– The Fort Portal City Marathon, which takes place in July, saw hotel occupancy rates increase by 25%, with average room prices reaching $120 per night.
