The Mekong Tourism Coordinating Office (MTCO) confirmed it was postponing the annual Mekong Tourism Forum (MTF) dates to 25-26 August 2020.
Myanmar will host the forum this year in Bagan essentially to promote its status as a UNESCO World Heritage site a designation that was awarded in July 2019. Jens Thraenhart, executive director of MTCO said: “The 2020 Mekong Tourism Forum will focus on the theme of ‘Achieving Balanced Tourism’ in Bagan, Myanmar.”
Usually, the forum is held in May, but it had been moved forward to April to miss the onset of the rainy season.
