Uganda's Business Events could have the potential to rebuild the entire value chain if there is intentionality.
Local events are super but what more can they do, the money is nothing of a huge impact making than a one bringing in high end individuals.

UWA Earned Shs16.4 Billion From Lodges and Campsites While Fewer Tourists Came
Concession income exceeded its target by more than three times, but an 8.3% drop in visits showed how exposed Uganda's wildlife economy is to a health scare.
Visitors to Uganda's parks fell by 78,032 last financial year. Even so, the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) collected Shs16.4 billion from private operators running lodges, campsites and restaurants on protected land.
The target was Shs5 billion, so the Authority beat it by 3.3 times.
The UWA ED James Musinguzi presented the figures at the 2026 Annual Stakeholder Breakfast Meeting at Skyz Hotel in Naguru. He framed the year as one of progress on several fronts.
"The financial Year 2025/26 marked important progress in Uganda Wildlife Authority's delivery of its wildlife conservation mandate, with notable achievements in ecosystem restoration, wildlife protection, species reintroduction, community conservation and tourism development," Musinguzi said.
Investors had a good year, but the Park gates had a hard one.

Uganda's Investment arena.
What does it present for tourism and hospitality investors?
@JulzKagwa answers that.
#UGInConversation 🎙️ retweeted
The Big Five? Uganda has the Big Seven.
Our CEO @JulzKagwa puts it plainly, Uganda sits at the heart of Africa, where ecosystems, cultures, and biodiversities meet in a way that exists nowhere else on the continent.
Come now. Get in on the ground floor.
After 2027 there is no looking back.

I sat between @bannister_roy and @JulzKagwa and asked Uganda's toughest question out loud;
Did Uganda earn this summit, or did we just get lucky.
Their answer surprised me.
Episode 1 drops this week 10. 10. 2026.

Ziya said let me try this luwombo thing & ended up making a whole cultural experience.
From warming & wrapping that masterpiece to the final bite, this is how culture tastes. Uganda on a plate.
Uganda’s gastronomy will humble you and feed you at the same time.
