Tooro Kingdom is fading? 😔
People say we only knew the Kingdom because of the late King Oyo. If we forget the King, the Kingdom dies too. Let's protect our culture!

Earlier today, we joined @UG_Airlines for the launch of its Entebbe–Accra route, bringing the Pearl of Africa closer to Ghana.
For our tourism industry, this route creates opportunities to build partnerships with Ghanaian travel agents and tour operators, attract more visitors and encourage business travellers to extend their stays to experience more of Uganda.
Over the next 2 days, we will showcase the @ExploreUganda brand and build partnerships that translate this connectivity into visitor interest, bookings and investment, through engagements with the @ghanatourismGTA and B2B meetings.
Congratulations @UG_Airlines on this incredible milestone.
