@OnyangoHenry10 @nilepostnews Since Kings are also ELECTED, then it should be universal suffrage for al the eligible Kingdom subjects. Otherwise , omusunga's may struggle to win universal acceptance.

@Uganda_Expozed The discussion about increased Hotel Rates came up a few months ago and we realised that the middle men were partly resposible for the unreasonable rates. With due respect, i hope you are not a middle man ...
I would encourage runners to book directly with the hotels.

TOURISM MONEY OR DOLLARS

EVENTS vs FITs vs TOURISM FAIRS

Serious tourism isn’t driven by individual travelers which are mainly sourced from tourism fairs for Africas tourism case.

Many tourism boards around Africa are starting to understand the value of international events and their impact in the economies.

Traditionally, tourism fairs have been focused on international tourism fairs like World tourism fairs, ITB Berlin and say Indaba tourism fair in Durban every year.

Yes, individual travelers have an impact in the economy but the effort one needs to invest in order to grow the numbers is crazy reason many African countries still remain behind.

NEW YORK and EVENTS

I love following NEW YORK and earnings from events and it’s because I have attended not participated a number of them.

I have flown to New York during low seasons say February and also been there say September when New York is hosting events like UN week, New York tennis open or New York fashion week which happens twice a year.

In February, you will stay in say a 3 star Hilton hotel at usd 250 a night and during September, you will pay usd 300 per night for hostel bed in central New York. You will have to go as far as New Jersey for decent place to stay.

NEW YORK MARATHON

New York full marathon and half marathon leave bring in close to usd 1bn in the economy of New York. Those 2 are beasts of opportunities for New Yorkers.

FASHION WEEKS

New York has 2 annual events for fashion week and both combined fetch New York close to usd 900m and they are beasts of opportunities.

US OPEN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP

The US open tennis championship leaves more than usd 1.2bn in earnings both directly and indirect and its spenders come from around the world to spend and tennis is the attraction.

When you hear New York makes over usd 84bn dollars from tourism alone and it’s NOT because of the individual travelers but the massive events that drive their tourism.

Domestic events don’t actually bring in new money to the economy though they help in redistribution of already available resources in the economy.

International events which are hard but possible to build make the most money for the economy. Whoever arrives the country, arrives with money the country didn’t have.

Events directly give almost everyone who has what to offer a chance to sell either a service or product because they bring in both low spenders and high spenders at the same time.

The competition for services and products drive the cost of both and eventually the service or product seller walks to the banks smiling. That’s what is happening in kasese now.

@AKasingye @tonykizito We are all acting in Public.
The general addresses his frustration by slapping police officers in public .
And another General @AKasingye immediately reported the General to the public Court for swift condemnation.
Both Snr Afandes are of the same crop, Kabisa !!!

@AndreDeNation None of the above. These are activists. Attention seekers. Critics who even criticize themselves.
Uganda needs leader who offers solutions to her problems. I think there are other women, silent but focused , who can do that.

@wekesa_amos @WilliamsRuto I have been chorusing the *Domestication of EA flights* whenever I get opportunity to talk about Intra Africa tourism.
This is a silver bullet to achieving the projected numbers of tourists in our region .

@BalaamBarugahar @Tom_Magambo Uganda olemwa.
@Tom_Magambo and @Court may do their work perfectly and then M7 do what her did to Ssebuwufu and Kanyamunyu, offering unguided Presidential Clemency, making notorious killers serve shorter sentence than that of a village chicken thief.
Let the law prevail

@MugalaasiA @wekesa_amos We have kept clowns in offices for long. Clowns who cause crises and wand do appear as saviors. Clowns who have no idea that our Capital City is a house of opportunities .
Its time to identify a LEADER, not an ACTIVIST among us to take one the Capital city. No politicking here

@wekesa_amos Excellent, Ndugu.
I hope the new UTB team is following you keenly..
Tour operators can only attend exhibitions, roadshows and join international peer clubs as a way of tapping into a well sold destination perception.
The bit of engaging PR agencies is UTB and actually Govt.

@NIRA_Ug I actually found another NIRA hero in Ihandiro Sub-County, Kasese District .
The entire mountainous Subcounty is being covered by a single NIRA guy and he is doing a great job.
