The Myanmar Hoteliers Association is expected to set up a two-hour night bazaar in Bagan, an ancient city in the northern part of Myanmar in the Mandalay Division, in October 2009 to attract more foreign travellers.

Myanmar is also working with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to carry out greening of the Bagan city to promote tourism, prevent forest depletion and preserve the natural environment in the area.

Currently, there are four hotel zones in Bagan which comprises 91 hotels, motels and inns.

According to statistics, approximately 260,000 tourists visited Myanmar in 2008.
