The travel & tourism industry plays a key role in Myanmar’s economy. According to GlobalData, driving increased visitor numbers and income from touristic activities are key areas of focus for the country’s government.

In 2023, projections show that international arrivals in Myanmar are expected to have grown by 1,315%.
Myanmar does not exhibit an overreliance on any single source market, but intraregional travel is a noticeable trend. In the case of Myanmar, eight of the top ten source markets are located in Asia-Pacific.
However, even when focusing only on the top ten, not all source markets are equal in size. Understanding the relative size of these and identifying high-potential markets outside of this list is key to identifying promising growth markets for Myanmar as a destination.
According to GlobalData’s report, ASEAN Destination Tourism, the country’s leading source markets include China, Thailand, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam among others.
