Kasese Tourism Investors Forum Hosts Smooth Leadership Transition, Boosting Efforts to Promote Region's Natural Beauty and Cultural Heritage

With the primary goal of promoting the region's breathtaking natural beauty and rich cultural heritage through tourism, the Kasese Tourism Investors Forum (KTIF) recently held a handover ceremony at Rwenzori International Hotel, marking a significant leadership transition. Mr. Baritazale Kule Benson, the outgoing Board Chairperson, officially handed over to Mr. Mugisa Charles Police, who assumes the role of Board Chairperson.

Mr. Baritazale's departure comes after his appointment as Omulerembera (Prime Minister) of the Obusinga Bwa Rwenzururu. Dr. Kihiire William, KTIF General Secretary, noted, "Mr. Baritazale Kule Benson is stepping down in good faith following his appointment to serve as the Omulerembera (Prime Minister) of the Obusinga Bwa Rwenzururu.

During the ceremony, Mr. Baritazale highlighted KTIF's achievements, saying, "Since KTIF's establishment, there has been a notable increase in tourism investments in the region, reflecting the forum's impactful efforts." He also commended the forum's successful organization of three editions of the Rwenzori Theluji Festival, which features a community Biodiversity Run, Cultural Gala, Investors Summit, exhibitions, and the Tusker lite Mt. Rwenzori Marathon.

Mr. Mugisa expressed gratitude to his predecessor, stating, "I wish Mr. Baritazale well in his service to His Majesty the Omusinga." He reaffirmed his commitment to promoting Kasese and the broader Rwenzori region as a premier tourism destination, adding, "We will continue supporting initiatives like the Tusker Lite Mt. Rwenzori Marathon."

Dr. Kihiire revealed that Mr. Mugisa will serve as Board Chairperson until 2027, when his term expires. The ceremony marked a smooth transition, with Mr. Mugisa receiving the instruments of power and pledging to build on KTIF's successes.
