“As Uganda and with the Pearl of Africa, we have the strategy to position ourselves as the best destination in Africa and the world at large. We have the diversity in Uganda to be able to attract as many visitors as possible ranging from nature, to culture, to lifestyle, to filming, to sports, to products.” Ajarova said.
