The Way Forward for Tourism in Myanmar

U Ohn Maung

The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism and private-sector associations have been making all-out efforts for the development of Myanmar’s tourism industry. We have been 

• taking part in international and regional tourism shows,
• hosting travel exhibitions, co-operating with International bodies,
• assigning tourism ambassadors,
• distributing leaflets and promotional videos,
• arranging familiarization trips well known international media groups, and
• developing digital marketing systems for tourism sector development.

I know the importance of having communities’ involvement in our tourism efforts. So, I encourage the private sector, regional and state governments, and local communities to embrace and develop Community-Based tourism.

We will carry on our endeavour and, in particular, in 2020 will

• develop our tourism Master Plan 2020 - 2030,
• make visa relaxations to some European countries that are friendly with us,
• create more training programs for capacity building, and
• promote sports and gastronomy tourism for new markets.

Sustainability is key to the future of tourism in Myanmar.
