Industry news · 6 July 2026
The Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) published this roundup on 6 July 2026 as part of its regular news feed. The page itself carries only a headline and images, so rather than guess at the detail, here is what UTB was announcing around the same time.
What UTB was talking about
An Import Promotion Desk engaged to help widen Uganda’s reach in the European market.
The first African dragon boat racing competition, to be held on Lake Victoria.
Promotion of intra-African tourism at an ATPSA roadshow.
An update on the yellow fever certificate requirement for entry. Requirements change, so confirm the current rule with your airline or the Ministry of Health before you travel.
The launch of FHS-Africa ahead of a Hospitality Investment Conference in Kampala in 2027.
Why it matters for your trip
More visitors from Europe and from across Africa usually means more flights, more lodge demand and tighter availability in the dry months. If you are planning gorilla trekking or a peak-season safari, book permits and lodges early. We will help you lock in dates.
