After the flood, local tourism operators estimate that about 40% of tourists will return to Kalaw, a tourist destination.
They also told me that domestic tourists will be able to re-enter Kalaw from the coming weekend. Currently, I can travel to Irrawaddy, Myanmar. Because only Bagan and southern Shan State are located, Kalaw City, which was spared from the flood, expects about 40% of domestic tourists to return during the weekend.
Due to the floods that occurred in the last few months in Kalaw, houses were destroyed and damaged in Wards 2, 3, and 4, and there were also deaths.
Furthermore, while some of Kalaw’s famous tourist spots were affected, the tourism industry has the potential to recover. The community’s support and resilience will play a crucial role in this recovery.
