Eighty-six hotels to offer over 7,000 rooms for SEA Games

Eighty-six hotels in Yangon, Mandalay, and Nay Pyi Taw will offer over 7,000 rooms for the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, an official from the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism said.

These rooms will be allocated for VIPs, judges, and athletes as well as foreign visitors coming to watch the SEA Games.

"We have been preparing the rooms in Yangon and Nay Pyi Taw. There won't be many problems in Mandalay. As there will only be sailing competition in Ngwe Saung, there won't be many problems for the hotel," said Kaung Htut, director of the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism.

Fifty-three hotels will offer 2,216 rooms in Nay Pyi Taw, where the main event will be hosted. There will also be over 2,029 extra rooms for the foreign visitors. Thirty-three hotels including the Sedona Hotel and the Traders Hotel will offer 1,026 rooms in Yangon including extra rooms. Hotels will be reserved in accord with the number of each participating country in the SEA Games in Mandalay while over 250 rooms will be available for the foreign visitors, according to the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism.

The authorities have been inspecting the hotels where the foreign visitors will be staying during the SEA Games to have them upgraded before the event starts in December, according to the Myanmar Hotelier Association.

The authorities have already notified the hotels to reduce room charges and only charge US$50 per guest during the SEA Games.
