Nay Pyi Taw, 9 January
The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism has been making all-out efforts for tourist to visit Myanmar in a safe and secure manner. The ministry also organized some travel itineraries for tourists who enter the country through border checkpoints.
Although this is the winter season in Myanmar, 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.
Under the management of the Ministry of Hotels and D & T Myanmar Travels & Tour Co., Ltd, seven tourists from Switzerland visited some significant sites in Myanmar by a luxury cruise ship named “Ayeyarwaddy Lotus” from 29 December 2018 to 3 January 2019. They toured Mandalay, Bhamo, Shweku, Modah, Tagaung, Kyaukmyang, Seinpangon, and Mingun and departed abroad via the Mandalay International Airport on 3 January.
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
