Happy World Tourism Day 2023.Tourism and Green Investments


Today, as we come together to celebrate World Tourism Day, we find ourselves at the crossroads of an exciting and crucial theme - "Tourism and Green Investments." My name is Ampeire Pauline, proudly representing Kigezi as Miss Tourism, and I am honored to address you all on this significant occasion.

Tourism is not just about exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. It is a powerful force that can shape our world for the better, and when combined with green investments, it becomes a force for positive change.

We are witnesses to the immense impact of tourism on our communities, economies, and the environment. Travel and exploration bring people together, fostering mutual understanding and creating bonds that transcend borders. Tourism is a catalyst for growth, supporting local businesses, creating jobs, and enhancing our quality of life.

However, with this great power comes great responsibility. We must recognize that tourism can also have adverse effects on our planet. Unsustainable practices can harm fragile ecosystems, deplete natural resources, and contribute to climate change. The theme of this year's World Tourism Day reminds us that it is our collective duty to ensure that tourism treads lightly on the earth.

Green investments are the key to achieving this balance. By channeling resources into sustainable tourism initiatives, we can protect our natural wonders, preserve our cultural heritage, and build a brighter future for generations to come. These investments enable us to develop eco-friendly infrastructure, promote renewable energy, and implement responsible tourism practices.

Kigezi, my home, is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nature and tourism. Our lush landscapes, vibrant cultures, and warm hospitality have attracted travelers from all corners of the globe. Today, we proudly embrace green investments to safeguard the beauty and integrity of our region while reaping the benefits of tourism.

As Miss Tourism Kigezi, I am committed to promoting sustainable tourism and advocating for green investments. Together, we can make a difference. Let us encourage responsible travel, support eco-conscious businesses, and demand that our governments prioritize sustainable tourism policies.

On this World Tourism Day, let us embark on a journey towards a greener, more sustainable future. By preserving our planet and promoting responsible tourism, we ensure that the wonders we cherish today will be cherished by generations to come.

Thank you, and may our love for travel and our commitment to the environment guide us on this path of responsible tourism and green investments.
