State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has urged those involved in the country’s tourism sector to make changes, in order for the country to attract more foreign visitors. Speaking during the Central Committee for National Tourism Development, Aung San Suu Kyi said that the country would attract more tourists if transportation systems were “modernised and convenient”, according to a report in Myanmar Times. “Tourists can get many opportunities such as viewing the beautiful sceneries and enjoying new experiences, that is why roads, water ways and railways should be considered, aside from air travel,” she was quoted as saying. She also urged Myanmar to promote more community-based tourism activities, which would enable visitors to learn more about Myanmar’s unique cultures and traditions. Myanmar’s tourism industry saw record growth after economic and political reforms began in 2011, but the sector has been hit in the past year as Myanmar attracts international criticism for its handling of the crisis in Rakhine State.
