UGANDA TO FEATURE IN ITALY TOURISM EXPO
Uganda Tourist Board (UTB) is leading major players in the tourism sector to an international exhibition, Borsa Internazionale del Turismo, scheduled for February 18th to 21st in Milan, Italy.
The exhibition is one of the top annual events in Europe, which links suppliers and buyers in tourism under one roof and also showcases innovations. The exhibition will be in line with June 2006 celebrations to mark a centenary since the Italian Duke, Luigi da Savoia of Abruzzi, scaled the 5,109 metre Mountain Rwenzori in 1906.
The exhibition will feature packages for Uganda’s niche market, and will include packages for the Rwenzori Centenary “In the footsteps of the Duke,” and visual presentations on “Tourism Investment Opportunities in Uganda” which will be hosted by the Uganda delegation in conjunction with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.
