Matsamo – A group of investors has unveiled plans to develop an artificial beach resort at Matsamo Lake Tourism Park, marking a new chapter for tourism development in northern Eswatini.

The proposal was presented during a ceremony held at the park, attended by the Minister of Commerce, Industry and Trade, Hon. Mancoba Khumalo, and the Minister of Tinkhundla Administration and Development, Hon. Sikhumbuzo Dlamini. Also present were members of the Matsamo Board of Trustees, the local Member of Parliament and Chief, as well as representatives from the Eswatini Tourism Authority (ETA), Komati Basin Water Authority (KOBWA) and the Eswatini Investment Promotion Authority (EIPA).
