A team of highly influential American tour agents recently visited Uganda for a curated nationwide exhibition, invited by Uganda’s Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Robinah Kakonge.
The delegation’s visit was part of a focused initiative facilitated by the Economic and Commercial Development Fund in the tourism sector, aimed at showcasing Uganda’s tourism potential and creating opportunities for high-value commercial partnerships.
During their stay, the tour agents explored Uganda’s cultural showcases, visited key tourism sites, and engaged in industry immersion experiences supported by local private sector actors and innovators.
The visit was designed to leverage diplomatic and commercial relationships, attract sustained economic development, and position Uganda as a global hub for innovation and travel.
“This moment represents more than hospitality—it’s a bridge to economic and cultural partnerships that can reshape opportunities for Ugandans across several sectors,” said Ambassador Kakonge. “We are ready to showcase Uganda’s vibrancy, potential, and talent,” she added.
The visit highlights the goal of the Economic and Commercial Development (ECD) Fund, a Government of Uganda initiative created to support diplomatic missions in attracting opportunities for Uganda in key areas such as agriculture, tourism, and science, technology, and innovation.
The ECD Fund remains a cornerstone of the Embassy’s work to build tech-diplomacy and meaningful connections to unlock mutually beneficial partnerships between Uganda and the United States of America.
