The event was launched on Friday 13th March at Fair Way Hotel and with the support of the Ministry of Tourism Wildlife and Antiquities, the Uganda Tourism Board and a range of Airlines it is by all means destined to succeed.
The Miss Tourism Uganda as usual will follow regional clusters where Uganda safaris are always conducted including the 9 clusters of last year namely; Busoga, Ankole, Buganda, Teso, northern Uganda, Tooro, Kigezi, eastern Uganda (Bugisu) and Bunyoro. Interestingly to note is that other two clusters have been added that is; Karamoja and West Nile.
The Minister during the launch noted that the funding for the contest would be increased from the one million shillings that was disbursed last year per cluster to 4 – 5 million per cluster. This would definitely ensure the smooth running of the event thus attracting crowds in attendance including those on safaris in Uganda.
