Over the past decade, Uganda has hosted a number of sports events aimed at boosting sport tourism. In 2015, a football match between Barcelona and Uganda Cranes legends is a topnotch case. Whereas past studies have examined the development of tourism sector from other dimensions, this study orientates its focus on how sports events in particular have face-lifted the tourism sector.
