Fresh arrivals data shows Uganda’s tourism sector reaching new highs, setting an optimistic backdrop for this year’s expo.
Uganda’s tourism sector has posted its strongest performance on record, with visitor arrivals and tourism receipts both reaching new highs, according to figures released ahead of POATE 2027.
The growth is attributed to expanded air connectivity, targeted destination marketing, and rising global interest in primate trekking, birding, and cultural tourism.
The momentum sets a confident tone for the expo, where stakeholders will explore how to sustain and share the benefits of this growth.
