Uganda’s tourism sector is guided and promoted by the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), the national agency responsible for marketing Uganda as a world-class travel destination. Known as the Pearl of Africa, Uganda offers an exceptional blend of wildlife, primates, landscapes, culture, and adventure—and the Uganda Tourism Board plays a central role in positioning the country on the global tourism map.
At Openbill Safaris Uganda, we work in alignment with Uganda Tourism Board’s vision to deliver authentic, sustainable, and high-quality safari experiences across the country.
What Is the Uganda Tourism Board?
The Uganda Tourism Board is a statutory organization under the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities. Its core mandate is to:
- Promote Uganda as a preferred tourism destination
- Support quality assurance and tourism standards
- Market Uganda’s attractions internationally
- Work with licensed tour operators, lodges, and stakeholders
- Encourage sustainable and responsible tourism
UTB plays a key role in branding Uganda as a safe, diverse, and rewarding destination for global travelers.
