WORLD TOURISM DAY 2026 Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism Today, I celebrate tourism with a deep sense of gratitude, and an even stronger sense of responsibility. Having spent much of my life working in and advocating for tourism, I have seen its power to change lives. I have seen communities find opportunity through tourism, young people discover careers, businesses grow, and our natural and cultural heritage gain the value and protection it deserves. This year’s theme challenges us to think differently. Technology and Artificial Intelligence are changing tourism, and we must be ready to change with it. For me, the opportunity is not simply about using AI because it is the future. It is about asking how we can use it to tell our stories better, open our destinations to the world, create opportunities for our people and make every visitor experience more meaningful. Uganda has so much to share with the world. Our wildlife, mountains, rivers, forests, cultures, food and, most importantly, our people. I believe our next chapter must be about connecting these treasures with the possibilities that technology offers, without losing the authenticity and human connection that make travel special. The future of tourism should be digital, but it must remain human. On this World Tourism Day, my hope is that we embrace innovation with courage, while keeping people, communities, conservation and our identity at the heart of tourism. The Pearl of Africa has a beautiful story to tell. Let us use the tools of tomorrow to tell it to the world. Happy World Tourism Day 2026. #WorldTourismDay #Tourism #AI #DigitalTransformation #ExploreUganda

21 km through Murchison Falls - tough, beautiful and unforgettable. Proud to have taken part in the Uganda Wildlife Ranger Challenge, and even more impressed by the men and women from @ugwildlife who protect Uganda’s extraordinary wildlife every single day. 🇪🇺🦒🇺🇬

Pure glamour at Uganda International Fashion Week 👗✨ Huge congrats to @SantaAnzo1 & the visionaries behind #UIFW2026. Merging fashion with Ugandan heritage is a massive win for culture & tourism. 🇺🇬 #ExploreUganda

Deeply honoured by the presence and generous words of His Excellency Ambassador @JanSadek at the Uganda International Fashion Week Grand Finale Gala. 🇺🇬🇪🇺 Thank you, Your Excellency, for celebrating Uganda’s creative talent and our vision of Fashion for Impact. ✨

I attended the Grand Finale of Uganda International Fashion Week, and honestly, I left impressed. 👏🏿 Congratulations to @SantaAnzo1 and the entire UIFW team for putting together a beautiful showcase of African creativity. But as I sat in the audience, I found myself asking questions, not as criticism, but because I believe fashion must eventually become more than a beautiful runway. With everyone taking pictures and videos: Are our designs protected before they become public? What IP knowledge do our designers have? Are models seeing real career opportunities beyond “exposure”? What does Fashion Week create for the designer, model, photographer, student, buyer and industry professional? Who is in the room? Government? Manufacturers? Investors? Buyers? IP professionals? Fashion educators? Serious fashion media? Or are we mainly collecting content for TikTok? 😂 And to the sponsors and partners: what happens after the applause? Do partnerships create jobs, markets, investment, skills, exports and sustainable businesses? UIFW has itself positioned this edition around “The Business Behind Fashion” and connecting creatives to markets, buyers and opportunities. So perhaps my biggest question is: What happens the morning after Fashion Week? Where do the clothes go? Where do the contacts go? Where do the opportunities go? And how do we measure the value created? Everyone says African fashion tells a story. Beautiful. But can we also see that story in the businesses, jobs, IP, markets and livelihoods we create? Congratulations UIFW. 👏🏿 The runway was beautiful. Now let's build what happens after it. #UIFW2026 #UgandaFashion #AfricanFashion #FashionBusiness #CreativeEconomy #IntellectualProperty #FashionIndustry
