Myanmar foreign tourist numbers picking up again

via Pattaya Mail, 30 June 2023: Despite the negative impact of the pandemic and military coup, Myanmar has seen a significant increase in international arrivals, particularly from India, Russia, and the Middle East.

Junta spokesman U Hla Myint said 13.15 percent or around 48,000 of the arrivals were Chinese nationals, but an encouraging feature was the growth in numbers from India, Russia and the Middle East. Travel agents say that Europeans, Americans and Japanese have mostly kept away on the advice of their governments as parts of the country are gripped by civil war and a lack of human rights.
