In an effort to grow tourism in the country, the Uganda Tourism Board has embarked on a drive to license all tour guides in the country.
A high quality, knowledgeable tour guide can of course make or break a game drive or a gorilla trek, so this marks a positive step in ensuring that every guide is qualified to help deliver the best experience possible.
Tourism is one of Uganda’s biggest revenue earners and tour guides are essential in this industry. All guides will be assessed and licensed if they are to operate in 2020.
Hospitality lectures will be offered to all tour guides and also meeting stakeholders such as the tourism police and tourism officers, on how best to enforce professionalism within the industry.
