A Showcase For Myanmar Tourism
The International Travel Expo 2026 has been designed to promote Myanmar's tourism sector both domestically and internationally.
Organisers hope the exhibition will highlight the country's unique attractions, rich cultural heritage, natural landscapes and diverse travel experiences to a broader audience of tourism professionals and investors.

The expo provides an important platform to demonstrate the country's tourism offerings while encouraging new tourism products and experiences that appeal to modern travellers.

Tourism entrepreneurs and organisations from Malaysia, Nepal, South Korea, Russia, France, Spain, Slovakia, Romania, India and Indonesia are expected to attend, creating valuable opportunities for networking and collaboration.
The presence of international tourism stakeholders reflects growing interest in developing tourism relationships with Myanmar and exploring future opportunities within the country's tourism market.
Cross-border partnerships remain essential for destination promotion, airline connectivity and tourism investment, making events such as the International Travel Expo increasingly important for industry growth.
