The Directorate of Hotels and Tourism (DHT) stated that a new route between Bangkok, Yangon, and Magway was expanded to allow tourists from Thailand to enter Magway Region this tourist season. A familiarization trip (Fam trip) was introduced to three members, including Thai national Ms Petchsri Nonsiri, in July. It was organized by Magway Region DHT and approved by the regional tourism committee, aiming to develop the tourism market and attract more Thai tourists. The Fam trip includes Bangkok, Yangon, Magway, Minbu, Pwintbyu, Minhla, and Yenangyoung.
The information and experience gained from the introductory trip will be connected with travel companies and will cooperate with various groups so that Thai tourists can visit in the next open season.
As of August, more than 750,000 foreign tourists have entered Myanmar, with the largest number of tourists coming from Thailand and China, and there are also arrivals through airlines and land borders, according to the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism. — TWA/CT
