Tourist developments worth 10 million dollars will soon be set up in the Malhazine Ecological Park, formerly Paiol, in the city of Maputo. 

The tripartite consortium responsible for implementing the project is made up of the Ministry of Land and Environment, the Municipal Council and Maputo's hotel resorts.

The announcement was made this Thursday by the municipal director of the Urban Development Office, during the validation meeting for the Malhazine Ecological Park operational plan.

To mark the start of the activities, signs will be put up, internal roads will be opened up and a force will be set up to control the 480 or so hectares that delimit the area, explains the Ministry of Land and Environment.

The Malhazine Ecological Park was created after the extinction of the Malhazine Paiol in 2012, to make way for a better quality of life for Maputo city dwellers by preserving the landscape and tourist potential.
