World Travel Market

The High Commissioner of Uganda to the United Kingdom and Ambassador to Ireland, H.E. Nimisha Madhvani, held a meeting with Mr Paul Hoskins of the International Tourism Investment Corporation (ITIC) to discuss potential areas of collaboration in promoting investment in Uganda’s tourism sector.

The discussions centred on opportunities to mobilise international investment to support the development of Uganda’s tourism infrastructure, improve the visitor experience and strengthen the country’s competitiveness as a tourism destination.

Potential areas of investment discussed included hospitality, eco-tourism lodges, tourism-related transport and visitor facilities, with a view to improving access to Uganda’s attractions and supporting the sustainable growth of the sector.

The engagement forms part of the High Commission’s broader efforts to promote Uganda as an investment destination and to facilitate connections between international investors and opportunities within the country’s tourism industry. It takes place ahead of World Travel Market London, a major international travel and tourism trade event, which provides a platform for engagement with industry stakeholders and prospective investors. #WTMLondon

The Secretary-General of the @commonwealthsec , Her Excellency Shirley @AyorkorBotchwey, today visited the @mia_uga Headquarters in Kampala, where she was received by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Hon. Prof. @KamuntuProf

Discussions focused on potential areas of Commonwealth support to Uganda, particularly the deployment of improved technology systems to enhance national security and strengthen the Ministry’s capacity to respond effectively to emerging security challenges.

The meeting also explored opportunities for capacity building across various sectors, with emphasis on knowledge and skills exchange. Such cooperation is expected to contribute to strengthening institutional capacity, improving professional expertise and supporting Uganda’s efforts to modernise its security systems.

The engagement highlights the Commonwealth’s potential role in supporting member states through technical expertise, innovation and professional development. For Uganda, enhanced technological capabilities and skills development could improve coordination, efficiency and preparedness in addressing evolving security threats.

Among those present were Hon. @adoniaayebare, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Lt. Gen. Joseph Musanyufu, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Internal Affairs; and Can. Dr. Johnson Byabashaija, Commissioner General of the Uganda Prisons Service, among other senior government officials.

The visit therefore represents an important step toward deepening cooperation between Uganda and the Commonwealth, while opening opportunities for practical partnerships that can strengthen national security, institutional resilience and public service delivery.
