The hospitality sector accounts for 90% of all employment and this has
made UHOA a force to reckon with in Uganda. It also gives me great pleasure
to note that of the 3,800 hotels in Uganda, 95% are privately owned of which
86% are Ugandan owned. It gives me greathonour to lead a sector that is
driven by some of the most patriotic ladies and gentlemen in Uganda
During the course of the years, we have also seen the opening up of
international big-name brand hotels in Uganda, most notably the Hilton
Hotel, Onomo Hotels, Hilton Garden Inn, Marriot Hotels, Latitude Hotels, all
of which are members of UHOA. This comes with a lot of benefits for our
country in terms of tax collection as well as employment of the youth. Also,
this is an endorsement of the international business community and a sign
of investor confidence that Uganda is officially open for business.

Message from the Chairlady

We are truly honoured to see our association grow in numbers and strength
every year. We are honoured to see a changing skyline of the hotel sector in
Uganda. We have international brand name hotels opening up in the next
couple of years. We are proud to have welcomed Latitude Hotel, Hilton
Garden Inn and Skyz Marriot hotel as part of the international chain hotels
calling Uganda home.
We encourage many hotel investors to come and join us here in the Pearl of
Africa. Our country offers a very conducive business environment.
