AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Uganda Tourism Under Pressure: Hospitality operators in Kampala say Ebola-related travel advisories and flight suspensions are driving cancellations and losses, with many visitors rerouted or quarantined after travel from Uganda/DRC. Aviation Boost for Travel: Uganda Airlines says it has signed a commitment to acquire 10 Boeing aircraft (eight passenger jets plus two freighters), aiming to expand Entebbe connections and support trade, tourism and cargo. Budget Push for Tourism: Uganda’s 2026/27 budget allocates Shs567.32bn to tourism—branding, destination infrastructure, hospitality standards, conservation and “economic diplomacy”—as receipts rise to $1.86bn in 2025. Ebola Reality Check for Travelers: WHO says the risk of Ebola spreading to World Cup host countries remains low, with no cases reported in North America or Europe, but Uganda and DRC continue to report rising Bundibugyo cases. Labour Migrant Tracking: Government plans a digital tracking system for Ugandans working abroad to improve monitoring and consular support. Health Infrastructure: Lubowa Hospital is 75% complete, with Shs5.23tn for health in 2026/27, including specialised care and emergency response.
