The tourist sector was badly affected in the 1980s by an economic recession in South Africa, the source of most of Malawi’s tourists. The industry was also badly affected by the destabilization of Zimbabwe but currently it is growing at a high speedy with an increase in number of international tourist arrivals. The tourist industry promotes Malawi’s national parks including Nyika National Park, Kasungu National Park, and Liwonde National Park
