This marks the second year of support for the prestigious tourism event, running from the 20th to the 24th of May.

The expo, culminating in a festival on the 24th of May, is hosted by the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities in partnership with the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), under the theme “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation.” The event aims to position Uganda as a leader in eco-conscious development within Africa.

This year marks the ninth edition of Uganda’s annual flagship tourism event.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the expo, Hillary Baguma, Brand Manager for Mainstream Spirits at Uganda Breweries, noted: “For 60 years now, Uganda Waragi has been a symbol of Ugandan heritage and exceptional craftsmanship. Our partnership with POATE attests to this and to our commitment to fostering cultural exchange while creating potential export markets for Uganda Waragi.”

Baguma’s sentiments were echoed by the Minister for Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Hon. Tom Butime, who emphasized that POATE is more than just an event. It is Uganda’s flagship tourism marketing platform, designed to connect local tourism businesses with international buyers, investors, and media. Over the years, it has grown into a regional brand, affirming Uganda’s position as a leading tourism destination in Africa.

POATE 2025 is a multi-stakeholder platform designed to create value and visibility for a wide range of participants, including international and regional hosted buyers, tour operators, destination management companies, luxury travel agents, and travel designers seeking authentic Ugandan experiences. It is also highly beneficial for Ugandan and East African businesses looking to showcase their products, build new partnerships, and expand their market reach.
