The annual Mekong Tourism Forum, originally
scheduled to take place this year in Myanmar on 25 and 26 August,
has been rescheduled for 15-16 February 2021.
Organised by the Mekong Tourism Coordinating
Office (MTCO), the Mekong Tourism Forum will take place in the
UNESCO World Heritage site of Bagan, in the Mandalay Region of
Myanmar.
Expected to attract around 300 delegates, the theme
of MTF 2021 will be ‘Achieving Balanced Tourism’.
Jens Thraenhart , Executive Director of MTCO, said, “The theme Achieving
Balanced Tourism is more relevant than ever, because we have a
big opportunity to reset tourism and become more sustainable by
embracing innovative models such as Doughnut Economics, and
leveraging regional collaboration by creating travel bubbles to
accelerate tourism recovery ... 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. We will be working hard with
the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism of Myanmar, the private sector
organizations 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 with
appropriate hygiene measurements in place.”
The revamped Mekong Tourism Forum was held in
Luang Prabang, Laos, in 2017, Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, in 2018 and
Dali, China, in 2019.
As Myanmar will now host the MTF in 2021, Vietnam will host the Mekong Tourism Forum in
2022. The event rotates annually between GMS member countries.
