Dear Readers,
Mingalarbar! May you be blessed with auspiciousness, health and wealth in the
coming New Year!
Enchanting Myanmar travel magazine is the joint endeavour between the Ministry
of Hotels & Tourism and Swiftwinds Services Co. Ltd to promote tourism in
Myanmar and it is my great pleasure and honour to write this short message of
felicitations on our Myanmar New Year to all the readers of this magazine.
Myanmar is a country of many sights and scenes. Starting from the majestic
snow-covered peaks of Mt. Hkakaborazi, the grandeur of Bagan, the proud cultural
centre of Mandalay and the bustling metropolitan Yangon to the quaint villages
and the colourful ethnic groups and their lovingly preserved customs and
traditions, the diverse animal and plant life among the green and lush tropical
forests, not to mention the beautiful and unspoilt beach areas, Myanmar can meet
all the expectations of the international visitors.
The Ministry of Hotels & Tourism is striving to promote Myanmar as the premier
tourist destination and put it firmly on the world’s tourist map. To this end I
hope our Enchanting Myanmar travel magazine will make a significant
contribution, for in this magazine you will find articles on not only the
regular tourist sites but many interesting articles on the little known customs
and traditions of all the ethnic groups in our country plus other useful
information for those planning to visit Myanmar. I am indeed proud to also
inform that the feedbacks received from many of our readers were very positive.
Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank you all for the support you had
shown to our magazine and also for visiting our beautiful country and we hope to
see you again and again.
Yours Sincerely,
(Thein Zaw)
Brigadier General,
Minister for Hotels & Tourism |
