Uganda has taken a significant step forward in positioning itself as a leading sustainable tourism destination.
The country recently concluded a highly successful participation in the World Agro-Tourism Conference held in Scotland, marking an important milestone in its agro-tourism development strategy.
A high-level delegation, led by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Doreen S Katusiime, along with Uganda Tourism Board CEO Juliana Kagwa and Board Chairperson Pearl Hoareau Kakooza, represented the East African nation.
The team actively engaged with international industry leaders, showcased Uganda’s growing agro-tourism potential, and benchmarked world-class hospitality models.
During the conference, the delegation highlighted premium agro-tourism experiences available in Uganda while participating in experiential learning visits to farms in Aberdeen and Edinburgh.
These visits provided valuable insights into sustainable farming practices, community-led tourism initiatives, and innovative ways to diversify tourism offerings.
Photos from the trip captured the team exploring vibrant strawberry greenhouses, observing cattle herds in scenic Scottish countryside, and networking in modern hospitality settings,moments that underscore the hands-on approach Uganda is taking to elevate its tourism sector.
This participation in the World Agro-Tourism Conference not only boosts Uganda’s visibility on the global stage but also lays the groundwork for the country to host the prestigious World Agro-Tourism Conference in 2029.
The insights gained will help shape policies and products that emphasize sustainability, community benefits, and authentic travel experiences.
