According to Rádio Moçambique, more than 300 products will be on display, with the aim of attracting global investment and involving marketing companies, airlines and international travel agencies.
Mozambique’s ambassador to South Africa, Maria Manuela Lucas, will represent the country at the event and will take part in a high-level debate on tourism in Africa.
“The debate session will be attended by African tourism ministers, policy makers and sector experts, who will share ideas and discuss relevant issues,” added RM.
The director of Promotion Services at the National Tourism Institute, Hiuane Abacar, stressed that the event will be an opportunity to show the world that Mozambique is a tourist destination of excellence. The 20 Mozambican exhibitors’ mission is to attract more investors to the country.
