Hotels fully booked in major tourist destinations for Thadingyut holidays

HOTEL rooms in Bagan, Chaungtha, Ngweh­saung, Inlay, Taunggyi and Hpa-an are already fully booked for the upcoming Thad­ingyut long holidays, according to U Aung Moe Kyi, Vice-Pres­ident of the Myanmar Tourism Federation.

 

He said, “Hotels in Bagan, Chaungtha, Ngwehsaung, Inlay, Taunggyi and Hpa-an are fully occupied due to the large number of domestic travellers expect­ed during the Thadingyut pub­lic holidays. Since it is both the long holiday period and festival season, local travellers continue to visit these popular tourist des­tinations throughout the year.”

 

At present, these destina­tions are still receiving large numbers of domestic visitors, while the arrival of international tourists has declined compared with previous years.

 

However, this year, Bagan’s ancient cultural heritage sites are seeing not only many do­mestic tourists but also a notable number of international visitors. — ASH/KNN
