As part of this strategic initiative, UTB and Auric Air have been engaging in discussions to facilitate direct international flights to Uganda’s premier tourism spots. This exciting development is poised to revolutionize the travel experience for international tourists and bolster Uganda’s tourism sector.
The Uganda Tourism Board, entrusted with promoting the nation as a prime tourist destination, firmly believes that this progressive step will not only save tourists valuable time and money but also streamline their travel experience. Currently, all international arrivals are required to land at Entebbe International Airport for clearance before proceeding to their intended destinations.
Lilly Ajarova, the dynamic Chief Executive Officer of the Uganda Tourism Board, expressed her optimism about this collaborative effort, asserting that it would expedite tourists’ journeys to their chosen destinations, providing them with unprecedented convenience.
With the success of such an initiative, tourists would be able to fly directly from the Gorilla trekking area of Bwindi Impenetrable forest to the Magnificent Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
