ANÁLISIS DE LAS PRINCIPALES POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS TURÍSTICAS EN MOZAMBIQUE

Resumen

The main objective of this research is to identify the main tourism public policies in Mozambique and reflect on their role and applicability in reducing poverty in vulnerable communities. It essentially aims to understand how they are implemented and what is the level of applicability. Methodologically, was applied bibliographic and documentary research; is qualitative research and for data analysis we opted for content analysis to encompass the content presented in the various sources that represent tourism public policies and their role in poverty alleviating and development promotion. From the survey carried out, the main public policies were identified, including the Tourism Law, Tourism policy and the Strategic Plan for the development of tourism (1st and 2nd). Regarding the policies consulted, it should be said that Mozambique has good public policies and the main ones adopt it as a factor in poverty alleviating and promoting development, however there is little empirical evidence that these objectives are being implemented on a large scale and effectively, as the participatory process and involvement of local communities in its design and implementation is questionable and doubtable. The quality of jobs in the sector is also questioned, as well as their sustainability, since they are very seasonal jobs and often have no legal link with employers.

Keywords: tourism public policies; poverty alleviating and development promotion; local community.
