In world economies, inflows into and outflow of people translate into short future growth. Thus, governments begin to value the tourism sector as an economic activity and social prosperity for tourist destinations. Tourism in Angola, from 2006 to 2016, experienced a very strong development as an economic activity showing strong signs of greater prosperity and profitability, contributing, above all, to the creation of jobs and revenues for the Angolan State and for the economy.

This research intends to analyze the current state of tourism in Angola, using the analysis of the Tourism Master Plan in Angola (TMPA) in order to understand its potential and bets, given the current situation of the country, taking into account The public policies in accordance with the National Plans presented for the Tourism sector.
