Our Business Model

Myanmar Opera

In the Internet Age when global Service companies are increasingly delivering their products and services through the Internet, we are shifting away from the traditional brick and mortar isolated office space in the localized area to the global presence on the Internet. Our network of team members and stakeholders contribute towards the common goal from different locations around the world, and from within Myanmar.

We cut cost on expensive office spaces except for a small home office in Yangon where we can meet customers if needed. By minimizing overhead expenses, we can pass on savings to our customers with lower markup or proft percentage. In most cass, we issue e-tickets or make arrangements without the need for the customers to visit our office.

Our Road Ahead of Us

We have started to see a new era in Myanmar where Burmese people put aside differences in views and opinions and coming together to work towards tolerance and co-operation for the good of the country. And, the international community reacts positively to the latest developments in Myanmar. Travel websites such as The Lonely Planet now has more favorable view of Myanmar, and gave #2 ranking in The Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2012. Myanmar has also received several other endorsements such as from CNN, and www.virualtourist.com has chosen Myanmar as one of the top 10 Places off the beaten path for 2013. We have a beautiful road ahead of us where we will put Myanmar on the map of popular tourist destinations in the World.
