Cooperation can boost Myanmar's tourism

With visits by tourists hitting a high in 2012, Myanmar is seeking more cooperation and investment from China to unleash its potential, the country's head of tourism said.

"We have regulated our foreign investment law, which is very user-friendly to international investors," U Htay Aung, minister of hotels and tourism, told China Daily.

Singapore and Thailand now top the list of foreign investors in Myanmar's tourism sector, but the minister expects more investment from China.
