This week we officially kickstarted the skilling of 75 youth from Karamoja in hospitality, tourism and site guiding.
Uganda is one of world’s youngest countries and is facing a huge challenge with its unemployed youth. On the contrary, there’s a lack of skilled staff in the tourism and hospitality sector in the country.
As Karamoja Tourism Academy, we aim at bridging the gap through skilling our youth from Karamoja and matching them with job opportunities through work-based learning program.
The Warrior Nomad Trail is developed to inspire tourists to travel beyond the usual wildlife attractions in East Africa. The Trail Pass is a personal souvenir with key travel information, tips on things to do and a document to capture memorable moments on your adventure.
The Dutch Noorderpoort College visits Karamoja to kickstart the Warrior Nomad Trail development partnership aimed at sustainable regional tourism development through skilling.
Africa Without Borders – With pride, we present a colourful nine-spread feature of our cross-border Warrior Nomad Trail in the Dutch Columbus Travel Magazine.
We are so happy that Karamoja has been represented so well at this year’s tourism expo of Uganda. And to top it off, we won the award for most sustainable exhibitor!
