PAU Chairman Bob Trubish outlined the mission in his new term; to transform pool in the country to be able to recruit more players & make it more beneficial.
Pool Association of Uganda (PAU) will hold their elective assembly on Saturday, 27th January 2024. Bob Trubish seeks re-election for another term in office.
TFGU is a registered association of tour guides and tourist drivers in Uganda.
Even while its members are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic since the country was first locked down in March 2020, charity was the priority.
The organization donated wheelchairs, clothes, reusable sanitary pads, and soap to vulnerable groups in the Ngora village of Soroti located in Eastern Uganda.
The second lockdown that took place in early June saw the tourism sector exempted from the lockdown with licensed tour operators allowed to operate unhindered after clearance by the Transport Licensing Board of the Ministry of Works and Transport, limited to foreign tourists. Although this was a reprieve for tour operators and guides alike, several companies were swamped with cancellations and sought to reschedule or resell gorilla permits altogether, dashing hopes of restarting the sector.

Summary
Tour operators admit that the 2021 virtual expo did not have financial implications. The previous exhibitions required participants to pay for travel, meals, booth space, furnishings, internet, electricity and accommodation. The only cost an exhibitor incurred this time round was to buy data.
