The shrine is one of Africa’s largest pilgrimage sites, drawing millions every 3rd June from across regions, languages, and countries in a shared expression of faith. Culturally, it reflects Uganda’s rich diversity and holds deep emotional and spiritual weight for all visitors to the Pearl of Africa. It is a very significant tourist destination, if you take time to understand it’s history😉

😂😂😂 We really have no places to see in Kampala…the promoters have taken Spice to Namugongo Martyrs’ Shrine 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Our CEO @JulzKagwa and Executive Assistant joined delegates from across the globe for the 2nd UN Tourism Regional Congress on Women Empowerment in Tourism in Africa in Zimbabwe. Conversations centered around driving structural change in the tourism sector in Africa, a theme that is aligned to the Congress' deliberate move beyond conversation toward institutional action. The rationale is that although women make up the majority of Africa's tourism workforce, they remain significantly underrepresented in leadership positions and continue to encounter barriers to financing and executive advancement. Ms. @JulzKagwa brought Uganda's voice to the panel "From Policy to Practice: Facilitating Women Leadership in Tourism," sharing how the Pearl of Africa is opening pathways for women to lead, not just participate, in shaping the sector's future. #Tourismpolicy | #ExploreUganda
