Maputo: An Ideal Place for Conference and Business Tourism

Noor Momade, CEO of Cotur, talks about conference and business tourism in Maputo.

“What we can see in Maputo over the last few years is that we have had a lot of conference and business tourism, which means that – aside from leisure tourism – we have many conferences taking place in the city, as well as many meetings, with a lot of people coming to Maputo for this purpose, but also taking advantage of their time here to enjoy some tourism: they spend money on this or that and visit the fish market, as well as other destinations on offer in here”, says Noor Momade.

“We believe that we are very well positioned. Among the region’s countries, we are among the best in terms of climate. On the political front, Mozambican people are very friendly and we receive foreigners with open arms, which differs from some neighbouring countries. This is why the African Union now holds most of its meetings here in Maputo”, he adds.
