Tour Operators

There is currently over 150 tour and travel operators in the country. These operators offer information that visitors (tourists) to Uganda need to know about the destination Uganda to aid their travel. Visitors to Uganda must depend on these tour operators to deal with them honestly and competently. The operators must provide their clients with the product or service as advertised/promoted in a brochure or website or as contracted for.

Uganda is emerging as a long-haul destination, especially for specialty tours. Uganda is increasingly seen as an up-scale tourist destination with a mix of ecological flavour and limited adventure.

Ugandan tour operators have established high standards in the industry. Foremost is the principle of ethical conduct, which requires operators to conduct business according to a set of professional standards. Additionally, operators must represent all facts, conditions and requirements relating to tours and vacation packages truthfully and accurately.

The Association of Uganda Tour Operators

Membership of the association is open to those organizations whose primary activities are the planning, marketing and execution of package tours in Uganda. Members must be limited companies registered in Uganda, and must have the minimum infrastructure and staffing to allow them to carry out their activities in accordance with the Association’s Code of Conduct.
