Domestic Travelers Spearhead Revival of Myanmar Tourism in Top Destinations
Myanmar’s tourism sector has seen a significant resurgence in October 2025, with domestic travelers taking the lead. They are flocking to renowned destinations such as Bagan, Inlay Lake, Hpa-an, and Chaungtha to mark the commencement of the traditional tourism season.
This surge in travel activity aligns with the Thadingyut festival, resulting in a marked increase compared to the previous year. The tranquil beauty of Inlay Lake continues to draw in visitors, while the historical city of Bagan remains a cultural gem. The coastal destination of Chaungtha has also witnessed larger crowds, indicating a robust momentum in the recovery of the tourism market.
Interest in international travel is also on the rise among Myanmar residents, who are planning trips to neighboring countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia. Myanmar is carving out a niche for itself as an appealing regional destination, thanks to its blend of ancient culture, natural beauty, and affordability. Tourism officials advise making early reservations, particularly for the upcoming Tazaungdaing holidays, as popular destinations and accommodations are being snapped up rapidly.
