Employees of Myanmar companies lead in holiday travel

According to interviews with hotel and tourism entrepreneurs most of the current vacationers are company staff.
With the resurgence of Myanmar’s domestic traveller numbers, company employees in close groups tend to travel after engaging with tour services.
“To describe the present situation of local and foreign tourism, many company employees are travelling both inbound and outbound trips. Locally, they go to Taunggyi, In- lay, Chaungtha, Ngwehsaung and Bagan right now,” said an official from a travel agency.
As the State tries in post-COVID-19 times to revive the tourism industry, which has been suspended since the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of local visitors has increased.
“There are more travellers than before and more foreign tourists are also coming. There is a hope for the tourism industry. Although there were fewer local travellers in Tazaungdine, the number increased in Thadingyut. So, we can say that things are improving and there are more prospects,” said a tourism official. — Thit Taw/ZN/ED
