Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Less than 20,000 tourists crossed Mozambique\u2019s busiest land border at Ressano Garcia, during Holy Week, despite authorities predicting more than 45,000.<\/p>\n

Ezequiel Nhumbate, head of the migratory sector at the Ressano Garcia border crossing in Moamba district, cites lack of money as the most probable reason for a fall in the number of miners returning to Mozambique from South Africa for Easter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes sense that there\u2019s a reduction, considering that year after year we see fewer workers. For us, this is not a surprise. Some miners may have chosen to stay on the mines and some may yet arrive, considering that we have a special holiday and that the mines only reopen tomorrow. But so far, movement is relatively low-key,\u201d the border official said.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of 2022, Mohammed Abdula, president of the tourism department at the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique, acknowledged that Covid-19 had cost the country\u2019s tourism several million Euros, with a huge reduction in tourist numbers, and that restrictive measures to combat Covid-19 were good news for the sector.<\/p>\n

The Institute of Tourism estimates that about 12,000 Mozambicans who work in hotels, restaurants or tourism-related activities lost their jobs during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Even before the pandemic, terrorism in Cabo Delgado had already driven away many tourists, prompting a government campaign to show tourists that not all parts of the province were affected and promoting alternative destinations.<\/p>\n
