Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has said his government has been reforming the tourism market in the country to attract more investment, Xinhua reports.

The Chinese government-run news agency quotes Mr Nyusi as saying so at the opening in Maputo of an international conference on nature tourism.

The president said making it easier for foreign would-be tourists to get visas was one reform.

The tourism industry in Mozambique employs over 60,000 people, Xinhua quotes Mr Nyusi as saying.
