The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism (MOHT) was formed on 24^th September 1992 aiming to support Myanmar as an international tourist destination by creating domestic and international markets effectively.

MOHT has been cooperating with international organizations such as ASEAN, GMS, BIMSTEC, CLMV, ACMECS,  and other tourism organizations in tourism development activities. To promote Myanmar Tourism, the Ministry is closely cooperating with the concerned ministries and private sectors including the Myanmar Tourism Federation and its 11 associations in participating and showcasing the tourism products in the international and regional tourism fairs and shows.       

MOHT has launched its new website, www.tourism.gov.mm, and we portal-www.tourisminmyanmar.com.mm which will offer videos, news, photographs and interviews about Myanmar’s culture, traditions and tourist destinations. The new website aims to inform the world about Myanmar’s real situation, to attract more tourists to the country, and to share ideal tourist destinations, festivals, cultures and traditions of Myanmar in accordance with the Digital Marketing Strategy of the 21^st Century.
