This African Nation Waives Visa For 79 Countries In Tourism Push

The United States, Britain, France, China, Russia, and members of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), a regional bloc, are among the countries benefiting from the exemption.
In a bid to boost tourism, Malawi has lifted visa requirements for visitors from 79 countries, President Lazarus Chakwera told Parliament on Friday.
Tourism is the third-largest source of foreign currency in the impoverished southern African nation, after tobacco and tea -- but the sector is underperforming, Chakwera, said.
"Chief among the factors contributing to this is our country's accessibility, which is why we have implemented the visa waiver program," he added.
