Travel in Uganda has been perceived as a luxury for foreigners and a certain social class. From its inception, Tubayo’s main goal has been to change this narrative and expand African involvement in the growth of this industry by contextualising tourism and travel to suit the Ugandan and consequently the African audience.
To achieve this, Tubayo provides experiences for as low as $3 (UGX 10,600). This appeals to the customer base as they are availed with as many options to choose from. Through using Tubayo, travellers have access to almost 350 fully furnished ready-to-live-in to stay accommodation spaces across the country ranging from an entire home, an apartment or a room in someone’s home, to even a treehouse.
Tubayo is located in more than 20 cities and 10 countries in Africa.
Tubayo uses its main products to further attain this goal;
- Tubayo Experience: People get to list and host experiences they are passionate about and share them with guests. The experiences are cheap and easily accessible to guests while hosts get to earn from it.
- Tubayo Homes: Home based lodgings for relaxation and getaways. The homes are listed by various hosts creating a variety of locations to cater for accessibility and preference for the guests.
- Tailored Trips: The clients get to share what their ideal trip is and Tubayo through its hosts organise handle the execution from transportation, accommodation and activities.
With only 2 years in operation, Tubayo can confidently state that the value they are creating for the Ugandan and African market in the Tourism industry is vast through its products.
