More than 22,000 tourists, both domestic and international, visited the province of Niassa in the first eight months of this year.
This number represents an increase on the more-than 13,000 who visited the province in the same period last year.
The figures were quoted by Mauro Pius, director of the Niassa governor’s office, in Lichinga this Tuesday at the end of World Tourism Week.
Pius said that the increase in tourist numbers was due in part to the gradual relaxation of Covid-19 preventive measures.
Tourists were returning to the beaches of Lake Niassa, as well as conservation areas and historical sites, he said.
Pius reiterated his conviction that the province had favourable conditions for various forms of tourism.
This year, World Tourism Week was celebrated under the motto “Rethinking Tourism”.
