Moçamedes – The Minister of Culture, Tourism and Environment, Filipe Zau, acknowledged Saturday the need to rehabilitate some touristic places in Bibala municipality, Namibe province.
Speaking to the press after visiting some tourist sites in the region, he said that the sector would work to attract funding in order to recover the Mutipa and Agro-Ecological tourist centres, in the Mukua-howahona area.
He said that they were reference points for the region and with structures capable of generating income for the country.
According to the minister, the revitalisation of the spaces is an urgent need, as the municipality will be able to attract more tourists and generate revenues, as well as guarantee more jobs for local youths.
