Muhtasari
- Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake by surface area, supports more than 45 million people across Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
- Breaking regional barriers While East Africa promotes itself internationally as a single tourism destination, Mdinka argues that fragmented policy frameworks continue to impede deeper regional integration.
- By linking flagship races in Tanzania and Uganda while working closely with regional institutions such as the LVBC, UNDP and EABC, organisers hope to establish a calendar of internationally recognised sporting events.
- Mwesigye believes such cross-border sporting events can deepen tourism cooperation, strengthen business linkages and reinforce the East African Community’s vision of a more integrated regional tourism market.
- FOR decades, East Africa has captivated global travellers with an iconic promise: the Big Five, the Great Migration, and some of the world’s most spectacular wildlife landscapes.
