We are proud to share the launch of the first community tourism association of Mount Moroto Forest Reserve located in Lia Parish sub county with our first donation of 3,890,000 Ush.
The Kara-Tunga team has worked with the indigenous community for the last 4 months to formalise them into a national recognised organisation for community lead development.
Kara-Tunga does not support incidental donations, but we aim for sustainable partnership through tourism as it’s a proven sustainable business model. Especially in the Karamoja region where tourism will undoubtedly increase.
Kara-Tunga has committed to contribute $5 per visitor to the association in order to achieve their goals in education, health, hygiene, agriculture and livestock.
The association will also maintain the trails used for tourism activities and use funds to develop related businesses in arts and crafts making, homestays and cultural dances.
Reduce plastic waste and #RefillMyBottle – We are happy and excited to be part of the RefillMyBottle initiative. This is a great way to motivate people to reduce the consumption of plastic bottles for both locals and tourists.
Tourism Hospitality Training in Feedback and Compliments Training – At Kara-Tunga we highly value development of interpersonal skills and have had the opportunity to collaborate with experienced facilitators like the Akiiki initiative and the last weeks with Marielle.
Impact of COVID-19 on Community Tourism on Mt Moroto – The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has reached even the most remote areas of Uganda. The host communities used to benefit from additional income through community tourism and freedom of movement for local business.
