19-Year-Old Birungi Shanne Crowned Miss Tourism Ankole Region

The search for this year’s Miss Tourism Uganda started off months ago in different regions.

Over the weekend, Miss Tourism Uganda was in the Western  region through pageantry that saw three queens crowned to represent them at the National level in September this year.

The Miss Tourism search events have happened in seven regions and over the weekend they were in in Bushenyi district held at Western Meridian Hotel 

A lot of university students have graced this year’s search. The winners will represent their respective regions at the Miss Tourism grand finale on September 14th 2024 at  Kampala Serena Hotel.

The pageantry saw Birungi Shanne, 19 years of age crowned as the queen with her first runner-up being Abigail Abaho and her second runner-up being Banny Shadia.

The new Queen and her assistants will represent their region at the National Miss Tourism contest come 14th  September this year at Kampala Serena Hotel.

Conservationists and Environmentalists who attended the event have presented a proposal about the need to drive a campaign to protect the decreasing glaciers in Western Uganda.

Uganda has severely been ravaged by climate change and worry is that; in a few decades to come if nothing is done. The new Queen and her team will, therefore, take it upon themselves to rally the community towards getting solutions to this scourge. The year’s theme is “Tourism and Peace.”

Miss Tourism Uganda is already in eight different regions and now it will be heading to Rwenzori this week on 26th July.
