However, for this to be effective, several aspects must be considered, among them communication and promotion.

OBJECTIVE: It is in this context that the present thesis proposal intends to analyze how the formulation and implementation of communication and promotion strategies are configured in an effort to elevate and qualify Mozambique as an attractive and relevant international tourism destination.

Non-participant observation is also applied, in order to understand whether the strategies and actions defined are being applied in the areas chosen as priorities for the development of tourism. A questionnaire is also applied to international tourists who visit the country to understand the mechanisms they used to get to know the destination as well as their suggestions for improvement for a more efficient and effective communication, taking into account that this is the main target of these strategies. EXPECTED RESULTS: It is expected with this study, to know how the country strategically positions itself in relation to the internationalization of tourism, through the use of plans, actions and advances in the communication and promotion process with a view to reaching a better level in the competitive international tourism market. In this sense, the Conceptual Framework of the decisive factors and elements of how to plan and establish communication and promotion strategies for an international tourism destination is configured.
