After more than 10 years of silence, MTU was awakened by our Patron and Founder Hon. Dr. Maria Mutagamba, with the idea to promote tourism under her slogan “Tourism Is Everybody’s Business”. It is said teach a girl and you teach a nation, we say promote tourism with a girl and the nation will fall in love with tourism. MTU with its team scours the country for girls with beauty and brains to be Tourism Ambassadors and promote tourism and not in only Uganda but across the globe. Uganda has so much to showcase from flora, fauna, scenery, culture and so much more and sadly it has been a well kept secret. Speke once called Uganda, “The Pearl of Africa!” We agree with him and we say, “Let the Pearl Shine”. So annually, regional pageants are held to pick the best and the brightest that will compete in the National Competition so that we can represent and showcase Uganda internationally.
