Uganda and Kenya, both prominent tourism destinations in East Africa, offer a wide range of attractions drawing visitors from around the world. Uganda boasts alluring mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, rich nightlife, and a diverse cultural heritage, providing an unmatched experience for nature and adventure enthusiasts. Similarly, Kenya offers stunning beaches, rich marine tourism, and diverse wildlife, making it a premier destination for travellers seeking relaxation and adventure.
The conference will prioritize promoting job creation within the tourism sector. By fostering partnerships and encouraging investment in tourism infrastructure, both Uganda and Kenya aim to create numerous employment opportunities, particularly for youth and women, contributing to broader regional development goals, economic empowerment, and poverty alleviation.
Sustainability will be a key theme throughout the conference. With global tourism increasingly emphasizing eco-friendly practices, Uganda and Kenya are committed to developing and promoting sustainable tourism initiatives. This includes preserving natural habitats, protecting wildlife, and supporting community-based tourism projects that benefit local populations.
The conference will feature high-profile speakers from the tourism industry, government officials, and international experts, who will deliver presentations, engage in panel discussions, and conduct workshops covering a wide range of topics, including sustainable tourism practices, marketing strategies, and the role of technology in tourism development.
