AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Bagan Festival: Thousands visited Bagan for its first official Sky Lantern Festival, held Oct. 25–27, with about 1,000 lanterns released each evening. Hoteliers saw a holiday boost, but visitor numbers remain low outside major events. Tourism Recovery: Bagan arrivals fell from over 400,000 in 2019 to about 15,000 in 2023. Myanmar recorded roughly 973,000 international visitors in 2025 and is targeting 1.8 million this year, still well below pre-pandemic levels. Air Access: Myanmar Airways International remains operational, including Bangkok–Mandalay flights, but the country’s airline network has shrunk and few international carriers serve Mandalay. Road Safety: A passenger bus crash on the Pyin Oo Lwin–Mandalay road killed six people and injured 12, highlighting risks for travelers on regional routes.
