Nampula will have 30 more tourist

Nampula provincial Director of Culture and Tourism Agostinho Zacarias says that more than 30 new tourism projects will come into operation in the province next year, representing an investment of about 1.7 billion meticais.The projects are being built in the districts of Malema, Mozambique Island, Memba and the port city of Nacala. Zacarias said that, as part of the Kapulana project, the provincial government is building a tourist resort in Memba that should be operational by the end of this year, as well as opening three more resorts in the tourist city of Nacala.Increased investment in the tourism sector in Nampula is however coming at a time when the sector is registering a considerable reduction in tourism numbers as a result of the political and military situation.With little more than three months to the end of the year, only 50,000 of the anticipated 80,000 seasonal visitors have so far arrived.
