Today,we held strategic discussions with the @ghanatourismGTA to explore opportunities for collaboration in air connectivity, sports tourism, faith-based tourism, film and trade partnerships. With @UG_Airlines’ new direct Entebbe-Accra route, the two countries are better connected to unlock tourism opportunities, strengthen business linkages and encourage more travel between East and West Africa. Discussions also highlighted opportunities around AFCON 2027, the Uganda Martyrs Trail, familiarisation trips for Ghanaian tour operators, and the upcoming Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo (POATE) and East African Community Expo. #ExploreUganda | #AccraWeAreHere

At UTA, we recognise the immense potential of bark cloth to connect Uganda’s rich cultural heritage with sustainable innovation, entrepreneurship, and tourism development. We look forward to championing these efforts and strengthening its place within the tourism value chain.
