Uganda Tourism Booms: Revenue Hits $1 Billion

Uganda’s tourism revenue is estimated to regain to the pre-Covid stages by the end of the year after the industry noted an 83.4 percent recover followed by tourist arrivals.

Corresponding to the new tourism curve and statistics report 2024, published Tuesday, the nation’s universal tourist revenues increased by 48.5 percent to reach $1.025 billion past year, indicating 83.4 percent of the $1.6 billion recorded in 2019.

The officials point the progression in both numbers and revenue to arrivals from Africa and some key overseas markets including the United Kingdom, United States of America and India.

In the final three years, Uganda has been heavily marketing its destinations in southern and western Africa.
