Uganda aims to boost tourist arrivals from India by 20% over the next two years to support its Vision 2040 goals. The Ugandan mission in India is focusing on tourism promotion through partnerships and infrastructure development.
India, with 1.5 billion people and a growing middle class, is a key target market, currently contributing 37,000 visitors annually. Uganda’s rich biodiversity and attractions are under-marketed, but recent efforts, including winning the Most Promising New Destination award at a Mumbai expo, highlight its potential.
Officials emphasize India’s role in helping Uganda reach a $40 billion tourism sector, with strategic cooperation expected to increase mutual benefits.
