Michael Usi urges Malawians to visit tourism attraction sites to boost business in the sector

Minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Culture, Michael Usi, has urged Malawians to patronise tourists attraction sites in the country as a way of boosting business in the sector.

This comes at a time most sites have been deserted following travel restrictions in some countries that have reduced the number tourists visiting the country.

Usi said this during a familiarisation tour at Lengwe National Park and Majete Game Reserve.

He lamented a mindset among Malawians that travel and site visits are for foreigners and low marketing initiatives of such places.

A visit to Majete and Lengwe revealed that since the Covid-19 pandemic begun, about 90 percent of revenue has been lost as operations have slowed.
