Miss Tourism Uganda Pearl of Africa Limited Information

After more than 10 years of silence, MTU was awakened by our founder Hon. Dr. Maria Mutagamba, with the idea to promote tourism under her slogan ‘Tourism is everybody’s business’. As it is said teach a girl and you teach a nation, we say promote tourism with a girl. Together we identify and promote new tourism experiences in Uganda though domestic tourism; and the nation will fall in love with tourism. Uganda has so much to showcase from flora, fauna, scenery, culture and so much more and sadly it has been a well-kept secret. In the 18th Century, John Speke once called Uganda the Pearl of Africa! We agree with him and we say ‘Let the Pearl Shine’. Miss Tourism Uganda with its team scours the country for girls with beauty and brains to be Tourism ambassadors and promote tourism and culture not in only in Uganda but across the globe. So annually, over 200 young women participate in the regional pageants from which the best compete in the National competition so that we can represent and showcase Uganda internationally. MISS TOURISM UGANDA 2022/23 Our mission: To promote, empower and celebrate the role of women in promoting Uganda’s Tourism industry through pageantry.
