Strategic sector
Tourism
Structuring hospitality and tourism operations with viability and service quality.
View all sectorsSector context
Tourism in Mozambique combines world-class natural assets with often under-structured operations: pronounced seasonality, high operating costs, dependence on scarce skilled staff and difficult access to long-term financing.
Opportunity
Tourism is a sector where the asset is obvious and the structure is what is missing. A good location does not compensate for a fragile economic model or an operation without standards.
Value is created by joining well-structured investment, disciplined operations and teams able to sustain service standards outside peak season.
Relevant challenges
- Seasonality and cash-flow management
- Investment structuring and long-term financing
- Service standards and team training
- Operating costs and supply chain
- Commercialisation and distribution channels
KMA perspective
