Guests like these schools should be playing such shows in TV rooms over the weekends, it’s more than hard questions this is school. Lots of love Amos ❤
I met Amos in Berlin ITB some years ago we had a deep discussion about our marketing strategy and I was impressed, among all the stands at the ITB Uganda was the worst compared to Rwanda Burundi and other poor nations respectively, those UTB guys all they could do would go and meet investors away from the uganda stand meaning they was only marketing their own lodges not uganda as country it was so frustrating. The uganda companies with their representatives didn’t know how to market their products, they couldn’t not speak fluently in a nutshell Market vendors in Owino are good at marketing their products than these tourism guys who come to Germany every year all they do is print flyers and wear bikoyi and hire a few Ugandans to come and dance mazina maganda just kusasamaza and call it a day. What wekesa did on his stall he hired bazungu who speak germany and other languages to do the marketing of uganda lodges and great safaris the others didn’t want to pay us to who speak germany because they thought they were wasting money. Government should make international language compulsory in schools we are to benefit in the industry.
I pray that he won't be appointed because if they do appoint him,they we may not hear his voice about tourism again.they will make him to keep quite and tourism will even turn worse industry.i pray he doesn't accept any post in government.let him remain the way he is
This was just a fantastic display of passionate leadership, thorough knowledge of the tourism industry and its potential to help Uganda flourish again. Great job Mr. Wekesa. We are indeed sleeping!
One of the greatest positive, provoking, well thought after commentary on Uganda! Thank you Sir Amos. A lot of Ugandans are fleeing the country because it has failed to work for them and then you hear about all this Greatness that is Uganda and you cannot help it but feel sad and blue wondering what it could all have been had we the right selfless patriotic leaders. Its very painful, but not lost. We can still make a comeback. Very hard but not impossible. Thanks Sir Amos once again. Many blessings.
Thank you for sharing this insightful piece of information. At one point, I momentarily forgot that I was watching Hard Questions. However, it soon became evident that I wasn't alone in this realization, as Solomon was also beaming with smiles. His serious demeanor, typically reserved for Hard Questions, had disappeared. This experience felt like a masterclass in history and economics combined, making it a truly remarkable and enlightening piece.
I feel cheated as a Ugandan every time I listen to Amos. There's more to our country than is being portrayed. Thank you, Solomon, for continually enlightening us.
Amos sets the scene with a birds eye view of the immense tourism opportunities in Uganda. For a way forward, please list, profile and pimp up the individual products he has highlighted. For instance, 1. Our colonial historical sites, 2. Cultural sites 3. Lake Victoria 4. Ssese Islands 5. Foods of Uganda 6. Mountains 7. River Nile 8. Gorillas 9. Sports personae 10. Indian expulsion memoirs 11. Birds of Uganda .etc etc .....the list is bottomless
Great video. Tourism supports all sectors, most especially conservation. Without protected areas, this country that's badly governed politically by the Greedy Barbarians and Savage Avengers would already be a desert. Tourism supports education. Bwindi areas in Kisoro District are a living example
I Woke up today Soo depressed but getting this interview has been a great gift for me, great knowledge, Inspiration and Motivation from you Amos. Solomon and your team thank you. Please engage Bwana Amos again and again dearly.
This interview has shown me that we need an overhaul of the entire system. We are not strategic thinkers. Not only leaders but also the masses. We need to rethink.
What a refreshing intelligent person . Just to add on . Look at how Rwanda has marketed its airline 4times to uk in a week. Then connecting to other African countries too.
A summary of the key figures he mentions and a pointer listing of the strategies you point out, is an enough to do list for the next 5 gears. Facts, numbers
I have always had a problem with what we study at school am happy to hear Amos talk about the importance of teaching our kids how important are our natural resources to our wellness especially in tourism and hospitality
What happened to my country! Can't get enough of Amos's level of articulation 😊😊😊 Thanks for sharing with us. If uganda had P'pple like you....i enjoyed, learnt . Will checkout our game parks on my coming holiday 😊
28:04 it’s about priorities. Our leaders for now don’t have that as a priority sadly . If you have something as a priority you can give it time and work it out . The priority the leadership has right now is to stop opposition
Listened and I feel for my country. Domiciled here in Nashua, NH and the season of leaves on trees changing colour as they hibernate for winter is BIG tourism magnet for the State. Yet +256 has all the beautiful weather and animals.
Thank you Amos for opening our eyes. Uganda needs intelligent people like you. Bagisu is proud of you. Our leaders really need to go back to the drawing board and find out where we lost it from as a nation.
Wow. We need such men mentoring and educating our next generation of business men and leaders. Such insights show that our government has its priorities misplaced that need to be realigned if we are to change our course as a country. Big Up Amos. Thank you Solomon.
If we can only have many Amos' that love Uganda this way. Amos has Uganda at heart, on his lips and in his eyes. This is the meaning of being patriotic. This is more educative than politics we engage in on a daily basis. I wish this message extends beyond the walls of AIIJ and NBS, be translated for all citizens. We all need to hear this and fully embrace the wonders of the Pearl of Africa. Thank Amos Wekesa for sharing your heart.
Amos being my tourism mentor thanks a lot for being brave and become a voice to everyone in the tourism industry, talk of the business we gain from India totally nothing, transportation in Uganda, Ugandan security, I can say Uganda is only based on individual marketing of the the private tour operators. It’s no longer about poor governance it’s the worst opposition fueling the worst government for ever since the idi Amin regime. Talk of Afcon, with the threat of thieves from Kamapala city. Uganda will negatively gain shame from Afcon.
Guests like these schools should be playing such shows in TV rooms over the weekends, it’s more than hard questions this is school. Lots of love Amos ❤
Watching this talk show for free feels like cheating. Thank you Wekesa and Simon.
Thank you! -> *Solomon
Couldn't be put any better ❤

People who understand the game of Tourism like Amos are suppose to be appointed to UTB
He may not be appointed because he may not want to be but they should listen to him , support him & put into action his advice. He’s an authority
I pray that he won't be appointed because if they do appoint him,they we may not hear his voice about tourism again.they will make him to keep quite and tourism will even turn worse industry.i pray he doesn't accept any post in government.let him remain the way he is
Exactly
But can they make an impact without top leadership interest. Imagine Obote was Funding the only Coffee Marketing Bord with over 1m USD
Ministry infact
The best way to get all Amos’ knowledge is to set the camera , say good morning and then let him speak . His knowledge 👌👌👌👌
Well-spoken ❤
I almost shed tears watching this interview.
It is painful to watch 😢
This was just a fantastic display of passionate leadership, thorough knowledge of the tourism industry and its potential to help Uganda flourish again. Great job Mr. Wekesa. We are indeed sleeping!

Ohh My God this Mannn. He inspires me all the time ❤

I feel am not worthy any comment but if only we had ears we would listen Amos well done your are gifted in that are ....。。。
Wow that's was Soo heartbreaking 😢😢
I feel cheated as a Ugandan every time I listen to Amos. There's more to our country than is being portrayed. Thank you, Solomon, for continually enlightening us.
He has the numbers and numbers never lie
Give @Amos Wekesa the Job and Tools to market Uganda already. Hard Facts to ponder on 💯. Thanks @Sserwanja as always🎉
Amos sets the scene with a birds eye view of the immense tourism opportunities in Uganda. For a way forward, please list, profile and pimp up the individual products he has highlighted.

This discussion should be put in schools to teach our children
This is the best Minister of Tourism Uganda can ever have
Never been mind blown about the potential of my country and yet also saddenned by the fact that no one might listen.
The powers that be do not care!!
This is probably the most informative 49 minutes I've listened to someone talk about Uganda. Such knowledge. Damn Amos!!!!!
Woow, we are blessed as a country.
Thank you Mr Wakesa and Solomon
You're welcome, Wycliffe.
Very insightful discussion, this is actually not the hard questions but the hard lessons that we should learn
We need a part 2 , 3 and so on .. This was stellar
absolutely
This gentleman Amos wekesa is a national treasure
This guy Amos is well versed with the potential we have in the tourism sector, I wish museveni could hire him.

Such Educative piece of information.. It was such masterclass about history and economics
Thus is so eye opening
How am I seeing this interview just now? We need part 2 @AIIJ , I have learnt so much.
Amos is Uganda, and Uganda is him. Amos Wekesa for president.

Naye banange 😂
Thank you so much for this. As a tourist enthusiast, I enjoyed every bit of this interview. Blessings AIIJ
Great video. Tourism supports all sectors, most especially conservation. Without protected areas, this country that's badly governed politically by the Greedy Barbarians and Savage Avengers would already be a desert. Tourism supports education. Bwindi areas in Kisoro District are a living example
I don't know how I can meet Amos, coz he has given us facts about uganda and people are not taking it serious
Thank you for hosting Amos
Very educative, the love for our country is wanting.

A summary of the key figures he mentions and a pointer listing of the strategies you point out, is an enough to do list for the next 5 gears.
Facts, numbers

This conversation was deep 🥹
This is good. I wonder is Amos has written a book about this. I would love to buy one
Brilliant and informative, these ideas can surely develop our country and make us a wealthy and economically independent nation
Wekesa is so brilliant and has mastered the Tourism Sector
I have smiled from the beginning to end.... where did everything go? Can we get back our glory?
If we can only have many Amos' that love Uganda this way. Amos has Uganda at heart, on his lips and in his eyes. This is the meaning of being patriotic.
