Uganda took an exciting step to enhance tourism ties with Mauritius by launching its first-ever tourism roadshow in Port Louis. The event, titled “From Paradise to The Pearl,” aims to attract affluent Mauritian tourists by showcasing Uganda’s unique travel experiences, including its rich natural biodiversity and world-renowned gorilla trekking.
Organised by the Uganda High Commission in Dar es Salaam as part of Uganda’s Economic and Commercial Diplomacy program, the two-day roadshow was held at the Hennessy Park Hotel. It sought to position Uganda as a premier leisure destination beyond Mauritius’s traditional luxury beach market by promoting Uganda’s safaris, cultural tourism, and adventure activities.
The roadshow featured immersive virtual reality experiences of iconic attractions such as Murchison Falls and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, allowing attendees to virtually explore Uganda’s landscapes and wildlife. Guests also enjoyed Ugandan coffee and local delicacies like the famous “rolex,” enhancing cultural engagement.
