Miss Tourism Uganda contestants unveiled

Although unveiling ceremonies of finalists of beauty contests are often exclusive, there is still a lot at stake.

It is when industry experts first have a glimpse at contestants and because first impressions last long, the contestants make huge efforts to leave a mark. And so it was during the unveiling of the Miss Tourism 2024 contestants last Saturday at the Kampala Serena Hotel.

The idea at this pageant is to showcase your own.

They were 29 and are the ones who to battle for the finale tiara on September 14.

These beauties sashayed the runway in different costumes designed by themselves. The idea at this pageant is to showcase your own. Wear and represent whence you hail. So, most from the western region did more shuukas. The Karamojong did their multi-coloured pleated skirts.

The Iteso did their traditional dance but because they are most recognised for Atap (millet bread), Ajon (local brew), they couldn't show so much. Others modelled in gomesis and others went their way. It was a night of showcasing different fashion statements.

These Miss Tourism Uganda unveiling nights have always helped showcase Uganda's various cultural statements over time. And it was evident on Saturday at Serena.
