UTC Promotes Uganda at The Bank Of America Marathon

UG Tourism Consult (UGTC) extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Embassy of the Republic of Uganda in Washington, D.C., for the opportunity to collaborate in promoting Uganda as a premier tourism destination in North America during the recently concluded Bank of America Marathon Expo in Chicago.

We are especially grateful to Her Excellency Ambassador Robie Kakonge and her dedicated team for their presence, support, and commitment to showcasing Uganda’s natural beauty, rich culture, adventure experiences, and sporting excellence to the American public. It was an honour to celebrate Uganda’s Independence with the Ugandan community on Saturday and participate in the Bank of America Marathon 2026 activities on Sunday.

The Bank of America Marathon provided a valuable platform to celebrate Ugandan sporting talent and promote sports tourism. Five Ugandan participants, including world-class long-distance runner Jacob Kiplimo, represented our nation on the international stage, demonstrating the determination, resilience, and athletic excellence that Uganda is known for.

Let us continue supporting our athletes, investing in sports, promoting sporting events, and using our networks to introduce Uganda to the world. Sports tourism offers tremendous opportunities to attract international visitors, create jobs, empower local communities, and strengthen Uganda’s global image. The Rwenzori Marathon is one such opportunity to position Uganda on the international sporting map, inviting runners, families, adventure seekers, and sports enthusiasts to discover the Pearl of Africa.
UGANDA IS OPEN TO VISITORS!

From the magnificent mountain gorillas and breathtaking landscapes to our rich cultural heritage, diverse wildlife, exceptional birding experiences, vibrant communities, and unforgettable adventures, Uganda has something special for every traveler. Whether you are planning a family holiday, cultural journey, wildlife safari, or sports tourism experience, Uganda welcomes you to discover why it is truly the Pearl of Africa.

📍 NEXT STOP: MIAMI — OCTOBER 27–28, 2026!

Following our participation in the Bank of America Marathon Expo in Chicago, the journey continues to Miami. We invite Friends of Uganda, travel enthusiasts, tourism stakeholders, and potential partners to visit the Uganda Booth #D-500 at the Miami Beach Convention Center on October 27–28, 2026, as we continue showcasing Uganda’s tourism opportunities.

Come connect with us, explore exciting travel opportunities, and help take the Pearl of Africa to even greater heights. Every conversation, connection, and visitor inspired brings us closer to positioning Uganda as a leading destination for international travellers.

To the Embassy of Uganda, our Ugandan community, our athletes, our supporters, and everyone who visited our booth during the Bank of America Marathon Expo in Chicago, THANK YOU! Your support strengthens our collective mission to showcase Uganda to the world. Together, let us turn awareness into visits, visits into lasting memories, and tourism into sustainable opportunities for our beloved homeland.
