Mozambique’s tourism growth fell by 4.1 percent in 2013 from 2011 due to the political and military tension seen in central and northern Mozambique, APA has observed.
According to the secretary general of the Union of Hospitality and Tourism Industry Workers, Luis Macuà¡cua, in 2013 the weight of the sector in GDP was 7.9 percent versus 12 percent in 2011.
