Parts of Cabo Delgado Province, which includes the Quirimbas Archipelago, have experienced security problems. For investors, this geopolitical risk could complicate long-term tourism or conservation investments. Other sources, including BigSlam, refer to Vamizi Island, praising it as “the island of dreams” for nature, remote luxury, and sustainable tourism.
The possibility exists that “Vazimi” is a media misnaming or mis‑translation of Vamizi, but this has not been conclusively proven. The discrepancy introduces some uncertainty around exactly which island Queiroz is involved in. Construction projects on the island – roads, airstrip, staff housing and the private villas have created a large number of jobs and developed skills amongst the local population.
