“I am immensely dominated by excitement being the first winner for UTB’s Digital led domestic tourism campaign. I am really ready to take on the pearl and being a resident of Kampala who had no chance to travel for adventures given the costs and the Covid-19 situation, here comes the opportunity I have always wanted to travel upcountry,” Dominic said during the call.

Dominic further revealed that upon receiving news from friends who saw his name posted on the Visit Uganda social media platforms as they congratulated him before he even knew it, he was taken up by tears of joy and he can’t wait to explore Uganda’s natural beauty.
