Zandre Campos, CEO of Angola Capital Investments, says Angola has more to offer tourists than what is commonly marketed.
“I think there is a lack of promotion and I think in the future Angola will be one of the key destinations in Africa,” says Campos, adding that the country has 1 550 kilometres of coastline, much of which has not been explored.
“We have lots of aquatic attractions, such as fishing, surfing, and kite-surfing in Mussulo islands.”
Campos has invested in Bluoshen, which has seven small hotels, five in Luanda and two in Benguela.
Most of Angola’s leisure tourists come from Portuguese-speaking countries such as Brazil and Portugal, he says, adding that the biggest challenge Angola faces in tourism is communication.
He says the changes made when applying for a tourist visa from any Angolan embassy or consulate has helped to improve tourism to the country. Travellers can apply for a visa online or visit any Angolan embassy or consulate to apply for a visa.
