Tourism in Mozambique

  • Mozambique’s Minister of Culture and Tourism, Silva Dunduro,

    MOZAMBIQUE, 2015/09/18 Mozambique’s Minister of Culture and Tourism, Silva Dunduro, explains how the country’s natural resources everybody talks about (oil, gas, etc.) will one day come to an end; but the riches of its coasts, cultural heritage and traditions will always exist. Therefore, Mozambique presently faces the challenge of increasing the contribution tourism makes to its GDP through cultural and tourist attractions that the current peace and stability environment allow. How is the work of artists and culture helping present and next generations to get to know the history and the reality of your country, and avoiding completed mistakes being repeated? The fight for independence, which started in 1964, was as well a cultural act. The soldiers forming the independence army were Mozambicans from different backgrounds, regions, colors that joined against the colonial domination. This miscegenation made that fight part of the people. Again, it was thanks to culture (cultural events) that today we are free from the suffering that lasted about 500 years.
