description This piece of research focusus on the analysis of tourism development problems and possibilities in one of the poorest countries in the world, Malawi. In the last years the country has attempted to develop ecotourism to mitigate some of its development problems and to access some of the benefits linked with the international tourism business.

This work therefore examines the condition and organisation of the tourism industry in Malawi and the implications for sustainable development and ecotourism.
