Pius Bigirimana, the Gender Ministry Permanent Secretary who was the chief guest asked contestants and winners to use the platform to promote Kigezi region’s tourism.

“You are now in a better position to promote this area across the world. As tourism queens, we are looking to you for more initiatives that will see this region known all over,” he said.

Engineer Ivan Batuma, the Kigezi Tourism cluster chairperson said that as stakeholders in the industry, they will support all ventures by the queens to promote the industry.

“I can guarantee that we shall be there for you as you move to make Kigezi’s tourism sector better,” said Batuma.

“Where you are now is a position where everyone is monitoring you and whatever you do is reflected in the Miss Tourism Kigezi initiative. Be good ambassadors of this project wherever you are so as to make us proud,” she said.

After her victory, Ainembabazi promised to come up with ventures that will make Kigezi’s tourism known more than ever before.
