Mozambican Economy Minister Basílio Muhate calls for commitments from the tourism summit to be turned into concrete investments. He calls for faster reforms, public-private partnerships and the integration of small businesses before the next edition scheduled for 2027, according to the Mozambique Information Agency.
Mozambican Economy Minister Basílio Muhate called on 7 November 2026 for the commitments made at the Mozambique Tourism Summit 2026 to be turned into effective investments in the tourism sector. Representing President Daniel Chapo at the closing ceremony of the second edition, he stressed the need to accelerate reforms and strengthen partnerships between the public and private sectors, according to the Mozambique Information Agency (AIM).
Basílio Muhate also called for better integration of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises into the tourism value chain. Expected results include the implementation of new tourism projects, the expansion of infrastructure and the creation of jobs, as part of the diversification of the national economy.
The government plans to monitor investment initiatives through the National Agency for Tourism Development and Investment (ANDITUR) and the Agency for Investment and Export Promotion (APIEX). The minister said he hoped the next edition of the summit, scheduled for 2027, would make it possible to see the concrete implementation of the commitments made by participants.
The call comes after Mozambique presented 50 tourism projects to investors on 6 November 2026 as part of its efforts to develop investment in the sector (50 tourism projects proposed to investors).
