As Myanmar is opening its gates to the rest of the world, its tourism industry has started to blossom. Last year, 3.08 million tourists visited Myanmar and this year the number is expected to go even higher. Currently India is at the thirteenth spot as per the number of tourists from this country visit Myanmar but both countries are hopeful that this rank can be greatly improved. These two countries are looking forward to promoting mutual tourism and though that they hope to strengthen their bond. There is a Buddhist cultural connect between the two countries which can be utilized to enhance tourism. Health tourism is another important area which has a huge potential.
