Tourism is one of the activities in expansion in Mozambique, a country with natural and artificial conditions (parks, reserves, protected areas, beaches and a coastline of over 2700 km, with wonderful marine and terrestrial fauna) conducive to its development. Tourism is not merely an activity only for those who have money, it has become planned activities even for the middle class, lower middle class and even for people with low income, through community tourism and / or in groups, which minimizes spending and makes the experience more enjoyable, hence the need to study the tourism phenomenon in Mozambique.Domestic tourism plays an important role in redistributing income and keeps tourism activity constant throughout the year, allowing people from non-upper classes of a certain society to also enjoy planned holidays, with leisure and adventure to mix, without spending large amounts. This paper proposes to understand domestic tourism in Mozambique, its importance and applicable improvements for its growth and redistribution of domestically produced income. As well as propose policies and/or strategies for the massification of domestic tourism in Mozambique.
