To concur with Chiwoko
Yet there is a full ministry of tourism. One wonders what they are paid for.

Has Malawi got an idea of how many Foreigners come to Malawi on tourism. “Malawi is beautiful” what a load of Rubbish. This is delusional. There are more beautiful countries in Africa with far better things to offer to a tourist than Malawi. I have a friend whose entire life is travelling the world. He was very disappointed with Malawi. There is no tourist Office to get details etc He has visited over 15 other countries in Africa and over 40 countries worldwide. When he was in Malawi he found only met one other tourist at Makokola the rest were… Read more »

It might be a good idea or it might not be a good idea. But what i see here is decisions made without research. Have they checked what other countries similar to malawi are doing with regards to visas? Have they considered the financial implications whether positive or negative and done a proper cost benefit analysis based on incoming travelers? Did they consider the balance between foreigners and mw travellers and made political and economical decision based on statistics? Anyway, I’ve lost hope in this rubbish of a country..

This is music to my ears. Malawians let us be patriotic and support this. Those who really wish to visit the country will visit. How does a Malawian, earning less than a dollar a day afford hefty visa fees to these countries? How much has Malawi developed with or without these fees anyway? The west (worst) are nothing but selfish. They only invest where they have smelt gold…….. wake up Malawi and stop being naive. Bravo to the Minister …bold move. After all are they not rich nations?

If somebody can afford to buy a ticket and have money to spend in Malawi,why should they fail to pay the Visa fee if they are really serious of coming down here?.Just because Malawi is not rich as US and UK,then it should be waiting for every decision from the West!Well done Kalirani.Its time you also improved the lives of Malawians.

Reading some comments here, I can see that Basic Economics has to be introduced at primary schools in Malawi. UMBULU okhaokha, Visa for tourists? Introduce taxes on mansions, high powered vehicles and alcohol.
