Myanmar will reopen its land and international borders to international visitors after a Feb 1 military coup, in a step that will pave the way for more foreign investments and business recovery.
Mr Maung Maung Ohn said that Bagan, Inle Lake and the Ngapali, Chaungtha and Ngwe Saung beaches have been earmarked as tourism hot spots, where tourist safety will be “taken care of” by the military and police force.
In the 20 months since the first case of Covid-19 was reported in the country on March 23, 2020, the Ministry of Health recorded 511,717 cases of infection and 18,899 deaths. Last month, Asean leaders excluded military chief Min Aung Hlaing from their annual summit, citing the failure to take steps to end violence and start a dialogue with the opposition.Before the pandemic, in 2019, the largest inflows of tourists to the country came from China and Thailand. China accounted for 39 per cent and Thailand 14 per cent of the total number of international tourists to Myanmar, according to data provided by the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism.
