Malawi leader, President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, says the country has the potential to make it big as a tourist destination by establishing the right infrastructure.
President Chakwera made the remarks on Wednesday afternoon when he inspected the construction progress of the new state of the art 4 h star Protea Hotel Lilongwe Ryalls at the Lilongwe Golf Club in Lilongwe City.
Speaking to the media, the Malawi leader said he was impressed with the construction works.
“This is an elegant project and it’s helping us actually move together in partnership, being able to rally all the money we can, create the jobs we can, and be sure that together we can truly make Malawi a tourist destination,” he said.
Well-developed infrastructure not only beautifies cities but also helps to enhance tourist experiences, boosts economic growth, attracts investments, and creates job opportunities in the tourism sector.
The President Chakwera led administration has set it’s sights on developing Malawi through the three pillars, Agriculture, Tourism and Mining (ATM) Strategy.
The project is expected to be finished by the end of the year.
