Myanmar is planning to attract 1.4 million tourists by 2015.
The country has seen a steady increase in foreign tourists after the new government took office in March 2011. The tourism ministry has formed a committee to oversee tourist services. It will also participate in international travel shows to promote tourism.
Tourism Minister U Tint Hsan told parliament that his ministry is making arrangements to attract 1.4 million tourists in the 2015-16 fiscal year, Xinhua reported.
A rating system will be introduced to promote hotel services.
Last year, 400,000 tourists visited Yangon and Mandalay.
