MoHT Union Minister receives Commercial Director of Russia-based Yi Ling Tourism Co Ltd

Union Minister for Hotels and Tourism Dr Htay Aung received Mr Kosinkov Evgeny, Commercial Director of Russia-based Yi Ling Tourism Co Ltd in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
During the meeting, Mr Kosinkov Evgeny called for relaxation on the insurance of Myanmar as Russian travellers make tours by buying international insurance and highlighted the ongoing talks with Myanmar International Airways to operate flights for travellers from Russia and large numbers of tourist arrivals if the country facilitates the monetary sector.
Then, the Union minister said there are examples as the Italian Airways operated flight from Milan to Phuket by stopping over in Myanmar previously. Now, the MAI makes proper arrangements. He also pledged to negotiate with the department concerned regarding travel insurance and to arrange for the currency of travellers.
He continued that the country is also cooperating in the tourism industry as the bilateral relationship between Myanmar and Russia is moving into a higher gear. — MNA
