The revival of the Malawi Tourism Industry Awards is being hailed as a turning point for the country’s tourism sector, as stakeholders prepare for a grand celebration of excellence after a one-year pause.
According to the Malawi Tourism Council (MTC), the 2025 edition of the awards is not only about honoring outstanding individuals, entrepreneurs, and influencers, but also about positioning Malawi as a competitive tourism destination on the global map.
MTC Executive Director, Memory Momba Kanthunzi, stressed that the event is designed to inspire innovation and professionalism within the sector, while also motivating players to uphold the highest standards.
Board Member, Tonderai Banda, echoed the sentiment, noting that the awards have the potential to boost Malawi’s tourism image internationally by showcasing talent and creativity.
“This is more than an awards show it’s a platform to amplify Malawi’s voice in the global tourism conversation,” Banda remarked.
With nominations opening on September 1 and the glittering ceremony scheduled for November 29 in Blantyre, the awards are expected to inject renewed energy into the industry and reinforce Malawi’s standing as the “Warm Heart of Africa.”
