Local products need more attractive packaging for travellers in Sagaing Region

Packaging for local products should be made attractive to and easy to carry for travellers, said U Aung Thu Oo, the head of the Sagaing Region Directorate of Hotels and Tourism.
“Most of the travellers purchase souvenirs from everywhere they visit. For example, when visitors arrive in Mingun, locals need to display from now on which products are from this area. There are many local products in Myanmar. But the products should make attractive to and easy to carry. When people get to a place, they like to take the memory of that place. The regions have also received revenue from tourists and they are buying some products of the region. Then, they love to come back to the place again,” he added.
The Sagaing Region Directorate of Hotels and Tourism is making effort to develop the tourism sector depending on the situation in cooperating with the officials. Revenues from the tourism sector did not come from hotels and lodges, he was quoted as saying.
“No matter what, the travellers are spending their money not only in the hotels but also in the local foods. The domestic tourism services also generate revenue. The pagodas are also received the donation money. The souvenirs shops are also selling well their local products if they make sure their products are more attractive to the travellers,” U Aung Thu Oo elaborated.
He assumed that the tourism sector will be more developed if they can gradually cooperate, it is learnt. — Lu Lay/GNLM
