Mekong Tourism Forum postponed until early 2021
This summer’s Mekong Tourism Forum has been pushed back to early 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Originally set to take place in Myanmar on 25-26 August, the event is now scheduled for 15-16 February 2021.
It is hosted by UNESCO World Heritage site of Bagan and is expected to attract up to 300 tourism industry delegates.
The theme is ‘Achieving Balanced Tourism’.
"While nobody can predict if travel will actually be possible in February and people will be comfortable in being together at a conference with hundreds of delegates, we are now setting the new dates, and hope for the best," said Jens Thraenhart, executive director of the Mekong Tourism Coordinating Office.
"We will be working hard with the ministry of hotels and tourism of Myanmar, the private sector organisations led by the Myanmar Tourism Federation and the various domestic travel trade associations, as well as regional and international MICE experts to ensure a safe event."
Last year’s MTF was held in Dali, China and the 2022 edition will be hosted by Vietnam.
