Myanmar’s tourism industry is seeing increased interest from Russian travellers, who are eager to visit the country and are seeking information on travel packages, airlines, and places to visit. Myanmar’s Tourism Entrepreneurs Association Chairman U Naung Naung Han has revealed that some Russian tourism companies want to visit and observe Myanmar before selling travel packages to their customers. Myanmar hopes to attract more Russian citizens by allowing for one-year visa-free entry as of July 2022, and negotiations are underway to operate direct flights between Myanmar and Russia. This increased interest from Russia could potentially make it Myanmar’s third-largest source of foreign tourists.
