When you come to Myanmar, formerly Burma, you will feel like time stood still , perhaps you’ll find yourself like Sleeping Beauty waking up in a world 100 years later. It is a part of Asia where people still move by horse cart, the internet is so slow it’s not worth going on line, and mobile phones are reserved for the extremely wealthy. Stately colonial mansions stand grandly, as do the pagodas and more than a thousand temples which are scattered all over the country side or clumped together by the hundreds in some places. The revered monks  in their red robes are holy men and you will find them throughout Myanmar.

This country is a cultural gem with breathtaking landscapes and interesting people. At Phoenix Voyages, DMC Myanmare, we can put together the most fascinating programs for you and your clients.

More about me

In 1984 I started working in the hospitality industry in Switzerland and Vietnam. I definitely moved to Vietnam in 1991 to help with the opening of the first international Hotel in Vietnam, the Sofitel Metropole Hanoi. In 1999 I took the challenge to build up Phoenix Vietnam together with a Vietnamese colleague, which was later merged with Asia Holidays in Myanmar to the Phoenix Voyages Group. 

Today I can proudly say that Phoenix Voyages has grown to one of Asia’s leading DMCs with offices in Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, South & North Korea and Thailand.
