Can I enter Myanmar in 2022?

It is planned to reopen the tourism business to foreign tourists in the first quarter of 2022. The first batch of tourists who are open to the outside world are mainly from ASEAN countries. Wu Taiang said that Myanmar's tourism sector is discussing with Thailand the "Tourism Bubble Plan", which plans to open the tourism industry to Vietnamese, Lao and Cambodian tourists in the first quarter of 2022, and it is expected that 300,000 tourists will be welcomed at this stage.

Wu Taiang mentioned that due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Myanmar's tourism industry has experienced an unprecedented downturn for more than a year, which has obviously affected the number of foreign tourists, tourism revenue and hotel occupancy rate. At present, half of the hotels in Myanmar are closed, and about 90,000 rooms can receive tourists normally.
