About Mlondola
Mlondola is a joint initiative between UNDP Malawi Accelerator Lab, ICPSD SDG AI Lab and local partners, designed to enhance the tourism sector through real-time data insights in Malawi. Traditional reports, like the annual International Visitors' Exit Survey, leave a gap in timely information. To bridge this, Mlondola focuses on data analysis and interactive visualizations to provide actionable insights.
The platform gathers real-time data from various sources to capture tourist sentiments, popular destinations, preferred accommodations, and activities. By leveraging advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), tourism businesses in Malawi can better understand visitor preferences, improve services, and boost customer satisfaction.
Predictive analytics further forecast future trends based on historical data, helping stakeholders anticipate demand and make informed decisions. This innovative, open-source approach supports Malawi's tourism growth and sets a model for smarter, more responsive tourism management worldwide.
