Amongst a common trend turning away from Myanmar due to the Rohingya refugee crisis, ASIA’s leading regional destination management company, ASIA DMC is taking significant steps to protect the livelihood of its locally run team as well as its primary local suppliers through further promotion of the destination with its trade partners.
Hanoi, Vietnam, July 26, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Since Myanmar opened to international travel, the country has welcomed an ever-increasing number of visitors coming to discover its enchanting culture and history with thousands of temples and shrines scattered over the kingdom. Since 2016, ASIA DMC Myanmar has seen an increase in guest arrivals but an overall decrease since 2017, which results in a declined livelihood of local staff and ground support. To turn things around, ASIA DMC Myanmar shall continue to touch on a variety of different aspects and interests that this country has to offer guests. Furthermore, the local team have secured a multi-faceted promotional campaign to attract guests and educate its trade partners to make informed decisions to help promote the destination.
