As the ‘Ekkula Sustainable Tourism Awards online voting draws to a close, we would like to highlight that the voting process serves as a vital platform for the public to make their voices heard. It brings tourism closer to the masses while offering nominees a valuable opportunity to showcase their exceptional sustainability efforts in the tourism sector—ultimately promoting and advancing the cause of Sustainable Tourism.” A top manager at Munyonyo Speke Resort said.
The event was graced by Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa.
Online votes account for 50% of the total score, with the remaining 50% determined by the judges’ verdict. Leading in the public vote is not a guarantee of victory, as the judges’ insights and decisions are integral to the final outcome.

At the core of sustainable tourism lie the values of inclusion, fairness, equality, and equity—principles that foster authentic, meaningful experiences for both visitors and hosts. We eagerly look forward to celebrating those destinations and initiatives that leave a lasting, positive impact on all involved.
