Last week, President Yoweri Museveni handed over marketing contracts to the Performance Horizon Group (PHG) of North America, Kamageo of UK and KPRN of Germany. These firms were hired to represent Uganda in their respective travel markets at a total cost of $1.5m per annum. Kamageo, KPRN and PHG will also provide training to the Uganda tourism businesses.
