Almost 210 enterprises began operating in Mozambique’s tourism sector in 2024, despite the downturn in activity due to post-election unrest that has been taking place throughout the country since October. According to budget execution data from January to December, consulted today by Lusa, “208 projects came into operation” in the tourism sector, of which 68 were tourist accommodation units.
This investment was essentially made in the first three quarters of the year, following a period of strong social unrest in the wake of the general elections on 9 October. At the end of December, Mozambique’s main business confederation estimated losses in tourism of at least 500 million meticais (€7.5 million) caused by the unrest, with many tourist bookings canceled due to post-election protests over Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
