Nay Pyi Taw 15 January
Some globetrotters are continuously entering the country by car or motorbike or bicycle in either groups or crossing alone through border checkpoints to visit significant tourist attraction sites in the country.
The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism has been making earnest attempts to attract tourists to Myanmar in a safe and secure manner. The ministry also organized some travel itineraries for tourists who enter the country through border checkpoints.
Under the management of the Ministry of Hotels and Myanmar Butterfly Travels & Tour Co., Ltd, 15 tourists from France visited some significant sites in Myanmar by a luxury cruise ship named “Golden Fly-2” from 3 to 10 January. They travelled to Yangon, Mandalay, Bhamo, Modah, Katha, Tagaung, Kyaukmyang, Seinpangon, Sagaing, Yantarpo, and Bagan.
As this is winter season in Myanmar, tourists are much interested in the river cruise tours along Ayeyawady and Chindwin Rivers to enjoy the natural scenery of riverbed villages, visit elephant camps and observe living style of marine workers and traditional pottery industry.—MOHT
