When we rolled out the #ExploreUganda campaign in 2022, the aim was to bolster domestic tourism & lessen the industry’s reliance on inbound tourism by encouraging more Ugandans to travel to the various parts of Uganda where beautiful attractions awaited. 6 editions later, we are availing those who traveled - to wherever wanderlust led them around the country - with a chance to win a fully-paid trip by sharing their authentic travel experiences in the #TellYourStoryUG campaign, a precursor to #POATE2025.
