In fact, YouTube tourists are crazy about Myanmar. Myanmar is on the list of the worst countries to travel to in the world. Yangon is also ranked number 2 on the list of the worst cities.
Myanmar’s tourism industry has completely collapsed. The industry, which has been at a standstill since the COVID-19 pandemic, has not been able to recover for more than 3 years after the coup. Due to the civil war that is raging in the country, only Bagan and Kalaw in southern Shan State are left as places to visit. Even hotels in those areas have sold out due to the lack of tourists. Even in Yangon, famous five-star hotels such as the Shagrilla and the Sedona Hotel have been closed for about four years. These hotels were big hotels that survived even under the previous military regime. Due to the current situation, everyone involved in the tourism industry has lost their jobs.
