The South African tourism group Singita, which operates 19 projects in various African countries, has announced its intention to build three hotels in the Bazaruto archipelago, in the province of Inhambane, in the southern region of Mozambique..

The information was provided on Wednesday (18) by the executive director of Singita Management Company, during a meeting in Maputo with the President of the Republic, Daniel Chapo, with the aim of obtaining government support.

"We met with the President to discuss some initiatives in the area of tourism. We're looking to build two, maybe three, hotels, lodges, in the Bazaruto archipelago, one of the most popular places for tourists in Mozambique," described the executive director of that ecotourism and environmental preservation group, Luke Bailes.

On the occasion, Luke Bailes explained that "the Singita group is an ecotourism and conservation brand and is committed to preserving and protecting Africa's wilderness for future generations", revealing that it opened its first lodge in 1993 and is currently present in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Rwanda.

"Singita currently employs hundreds of people in Africa and operates 19 exclusive-use lodges, camps and villas in six locations spanning four countries - each a sanctuary of peace that celebrates the beauty of the African forest," he added.
