Affordable hotel rooms in prominent tourist destinations have been occupied with reservations from New Year travellers, U Naung Naung Han, Chairman of the Myanmar Tourism Entrepreneurs Association.
Rooms costing K 1 lakh or less top the list of reservations and affordable hotels in Bagan, Ngwesaung and Chaungtha are already full, he said.
“Bookings are full in affordable hotels in Bagan, Ngwesaung and Chaungtha. Reservations are being made especially for hotel rooms at K 1 lakh or less for the New Year. Some hotels still have rooms available,” he added.
Ngapali beach, a major destination for New Year travellers in previous years, is receiving fewer visitors due to local instability.
Domestic tourism, which improved in October, declined in November and early December due to local instability, but it rebounded by the end of December and if these situations continue, it is expected to have many travellers for New Year 2024, he said.
In outbound tourism, many Myanmar people may visit Thailand in January 2024 and more travellers are expected to visit Bodh Gaya in February 2024.
