Non-paper - 5 April 2017 - Myanmar's tourism industry

The tourism business has played a major role in driving forward Myanmar’s economic development since the start of national reforms in 2011. Myanmar is endowed with many potential tourist attractions arising from its 1,930 km coastline, its historical landmarks and variety of cultural traditions. The government has drawn up a tourism development master plan, which seeks to build Myanmar into a leading tourist destination in Southeast Asia, and to cater to the increasing number of tourists arriving in Myanmar. The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism estimated that inbound tourists to Myanmar amounted to 6 million in 2016. Moreover, political and economic stability are seen as opportunities for the development of the tourism industry.
