Uganda Needs Investments in Accommodation, Tourism Experiences, Sports and Medical Tourism

Lilly Ajarova, CEO of Uganda Tourism Board, talks about the many investement opportunities Uganda provides in the tourism sector, such as investments in accomodation, tourism experiences, sports tourism and medical tourism.

“There are a lot of investment opportunities in tourism in Uganda. One of them, of course, is the accommodation facilities. We require a lot more luxury accommodation facilities in the different parts of the country. We still need more accommodation for tourists in this country in mid-range facilities as well. In terms of the tourism experiences, for example, hiking safaris on the Rwenzori Mountains, having people with the international experience of organizing this kind of service is also where we would require international investors to come in. We have had that investment by an international investor, but we need more of such, like bungee jumping on the Nile, canopy walks in the different forests that we have, and we have looked at opportunities of a glass bridge on the River Nile, at Murchison Falls, or the source of the Nile itself as some of the opportunities for investment. One of the areas we are looking at is also sports tourism. We need a lot of facilities for sports in this country. Anybody out there who would be interested in investing in this area is also very welcome. The other area is also medical tourism. We are looking at having specialized medical facilities in this country, specialized services, and we need the investment in these areas as well”, says Lilly Ajarova.
