New Bagan hotel zone project ordered to avoid cultural zones

President Thein Sein has directed hoteliers in Myanmar's most popular tourist destination to construct a new hotel zone project in Bagan far from the cultural regions, according to the Ministry of Culture.

“The ministries of Culture and Hotels and Tourism will cooperate in the extension of hotel zone projects in Bagan,” Culture Minister Aye Myint Kyu said.
While visiting Bagan, Thein Sein told the Mandalay Regional Government Committee that extension of hotel facilities in the Bagan region must remain clear of cultural zones. Three locations in Bagan have already been designated ancient archaeological regions. The government will not allow the construction of any buildings in the cultural zones.
