Connecting Tourism MSMEs to a Digital Future
Empowering over 1,500 tourism-related businesses across Bwindi and Kibale through digital tools, training, and market access.
Bridging the digital divide for Uganda's eco-tourism sector
The eBusiness Eco-Tour Portal (e-BETP) equips micro, small, and medium enterprises in Uganda's key tourism corridors with practical digital skills, online visibility, and access to digital markets.
Working across Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Kibale National Park, and the broader South-Western Uganda tourism circuit, we deliver hands-on training, business registration support, and market linkages.
About the Program →What is happening in the project right now
Active Phase 2 activities across Uganda's eco-tourism corridor — from community digital hubs to MSME onboarding and portal marketing.
Community Digital Hub Rollout
Six Digital Community Hubs are being established across Bwindi (Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga, Nkuringo), Kibale (Bigodi), and Mgahinga. Each hub enables MSME onboarding, digital shop management, and DHL logistics for product delivery to clients.
MSME Training and Onboarding
217 MSMEs onboarded onto the portal. Community hubs serve as training centres for digital literacy, product photo uploads, and online shop management — with a focus on women and youth.

Active digital campaigns, community success stories, and stakeholder partnerships to connect Uganda's eco-tourism MSMEs with international buyers and expand the portal's global reach.
