This research seeks to analyze the contribution of cultural heritage to the production of family income, focusing on basketry in the village of Nhacundela. The study was based on a qualitative approach, through direct observation assisted by the collection of photographs and interviews with the local community, to obtain relevant data about the research. The results show that in the village, basketry is used for domestic, ritual and commercial purposes. The baskets found in Nhacundela are made from natural materials, extracted from plants such as Hyphaene Coriacea (hanga). The knowledge involved in the practice of basketry in Nhacundela is passed from generation to generation. The activity of basket weaving in the village of Nhacundela has a clear advantage as a source of income generation, although there are few profits for artisans due to the fact that this activity depends on consumer demand for these products. The basket used by the community to preserve food carries a symbolism that cannot be dissociated from memory, from ritual life. The cultural characteristic of basketry can be an element that, in addition to offering differentiated products to tourist demand, in a tangible sense, also allows visitors to have a different experience, in an intangible sense, since contact with the receiving community allows for an exchange of experiences.
