Tourism authorities in Uganda have embarked on verification of accommodation facilities to push for standards to match those of the East African Community.

The exercise will involve verification, grading and certification of hotels, lodges, guesthouses, inns and motels. Those that fail will not be certified and are likely to lose out on guests.
