Tourism in Myanmar (also known as Burma) is a developing sector. Although Myanmar possesses great tourist potential and attractions in many respects, much of the industry remains to be developed. The number of visitors to Burma is small compared to her neighbours, outpaced by even Laos. This is primarily due to its political situation. However, after the junta transferred power to the civilian government, the tourism sector saw an increase in tourism arrivals, and in 2012, tourist arrivals surpassed the one million mark for the first time. In 2013, the Tourism Master Plan was created, targeting 7.5 million arrivals by 2020.
