TAKULANDILANI Malawi International Tourism Expo 2023 (MITE) Highlights | Umodzi Park | BICC
The Warm Heart of Africa hosted the 4th edition of “Takulandirani” Malawi International Tourism Expo (MITE) held from 26th to 27th April 2023 at the Bingu Wa Mutharika International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe.
The event returned after a two-year breather as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. It was expected to draw participants and buyers from Southern, East Africa and Malawi’s tourism source markets in Europe, Asia and North America. Exhibitors had a chance to network with buyers and bookers of the tourism products and services, establish business partnerships through business to business and speed networking sessions and showcase their destination, products and services.
Takulandirani also offers opportunities for patrons to acquire knowledge about different source markets, interact with travel media, meet other destinations and engage in well informed workshops. The return of the expo this year gave further impetus to Malawi’s recovery efforts of the sector.
Minister of Tourism, Vera Kamtukule, launched the event and as part of complementing it, she said her ministry has come up with an aggressive domestic tourism’s strategy enshrined in the Tourism Master Plan to allow Malawi citizens enjoy the experience of the country is offering in the tourism industry. Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima and President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera also attended the event.
