Tourist arrivals climb at Shan State hotspots
VISITOR arrivals in Shan State’s popular tourist destinations, such as Taunggyi, Kalaw, Inlay, Pindaya and Ywangan, have mounted visibly, according to tourism-related businesses.
People have preferred these destinations, which are rich in beautiful natural landscapes that look perfect in the cold weather, for pre-wedding shooting or going on vacation with family and friends. The number of visitors to these destinations has risen significantly since last December and has remained high until this month, said a resident.
“The visitor arrival is larger on long public holidays. There was an influx of visitors during the last December holidays. People have taken a trip here until now. Some choose here for pre-wedding shooting, and some visitors come with family or friends. Here, the weather is pleasant now, and a sea of clouds and beautiful views can also attract visitors,” said a man who runs a tourism-related business.
The increase in tourist arrivals has also supported tourism-related businesses such as Oway rental service, car rental service and local products trading, he said.
During this tourism peak season, local visitors have taken trips to Bagan-NyaungU, Kyaiktiyo, Nay Pyi Taw, Bago, as well as in PyinOoLwin, Taunggyi, Kalaw, Inlay, Pindaya and Ywangan, and people are going on vacation in overseas destinations, according to the tourism community. The tourist arrival is also expected to be large in the coming February holidays. — MT/ZS
