Tourism in Myanmar (also known as Burma) is a developing sector. As at February 2022, new tourist visa applications continue to be suspended. Although Myanmar possesses tourist potential, much of the industry remains to be developed. The number of visitors to Burma is small compared to its neighbouring countries. This is primarily due to its political situation. However, after the junta transferred power to the civilian government, the tourism sector saw an increase in tourism arrivals, and in 2012, tourist arrivals surpassed the one million mark for the first time. In 2013, the Tourism Master Plan was created, targeting 7.5 million arrivals by 2020.

  • Pariwisata di Myanmar merupakan sektor yang perkembangannnya paling lambat. Meskipun Myanmar memiliki potensi wisata yang besar dan objek wisata di berbagai bidang, banyak bagian dari industri ini yang masih harus dikembangkan. Juga, jumlah pengunjung ke Myanmar relatif kecil dibandingkan dengan tetangganya - bahkan dilampaui oleh Laos. Hal ini terutama karena situasi politik saat ini. Pariwisata di Myanmar telah dikembangkan terutama oleh pemerintah, tetapi perusahaan swasta yang memang ada, yang melayani berbagai wisatawan. (in)
  • Tourism in Myanmar (also known as Burma) is a developing sector. As at February 2022, new tourist visa applications continue to be suspended. Although Myanmar possesses tourist potential, much of the industry remains to be developed. The number of visitors to Burma is small compared to its neighbouring countries. This is primarily due to its political situation. However, after the junta transferred power to the civilian government, the tourism sector saw an increase in tourism arrivals, and in 2012, tourist arrivals surpassed the one million mark for the first time. In 2013, the Tourism Master Plan was created, targeting 7.5 million arrivals by 2020. Tourism has been developed mainly by Myanmar's government, which has encouraged tourism since 1992. Private enterprises also exist, catering to a wide range of tourists. In 2010, 791,505 foreign tourists visited Myanmar, with 295,174 foreign tourists entering the country via Yangon International Airport. By 2012, more than 1 million foreign tourists visited Myanmar. In 2013, the number of foreign arrivals reached more than 2.04 million, counting both air and overland arrivals. Tourism has been promoted by advocacy groups as a method of providing economic benefit to Burmese civilians, and to avoid isolating the country from the rest of the world. Voices for Burma, a pro-democracy advocate group, states, "We believe that small-scale, responsible tourism can create more benefits than harm. So long as tourists are fully aware of the situation and take steps to maximise their positive impact and minimise the negatives, we feel their visit can be beneficial overall. Responsible tourists can help Burma primarily by bringing money to local communities and small businesses, and by raising awareness of the situation worldwide." A former Burmese tourism minister estimated that 12% of the government revenues are derived from tourism, with the tourism industry contributing $182 million USD (2007) to the government's annual budget.
