Mozambique Establishes New Agency to Drive Tourism Investment
The Mozambican Government has approved the creation of the National Agency for Tourism Development and Investment (Anditur), following a Council of Ministers session on 7 May 2026. The new public entity will operate with its own legal personality and full administrative, financial, and asset autonomy, functioning as a dedicated instrument for structuring and financing tourism projects at a national level. Its primary mandate is to mobilise private investment, facilitate public-private partnerships, and improve the overall competitiveness of Mozambique's tourism sector – an industry considered central to the country's broader economic diversification strategy.
In the same session, the government also approved the Mozambique Heritage and Tourism Rescue Project (PREPT Moz), a complementary initiative focused on the valorisation of the country's natural, cultural and built heritage. The project aims to drive sustainable tourism and local economic development through heritage requalification, with an emphasis on socio-economic inclusion, human capital development and land-use planning to ensure that local communities benefit directly from the tourism value chain. Together, the two approvals signal a significant policy push by Mozambique to attract international investment and position its tourism sector as a structured and competitive growth driver.
