Win Zaw: At glance, the topic looks like someone wake up and raise the
question. In the reality, I believe there were no promotional events
with the association's expenses. Whoever attended in the past events
such as, ATF, WTM, TTM, ITB and more, the association organized to
secure larger booth and sold space under the same umbrella. It is much
depends on who join the event and share the cost of pavilion.
“ကုမၸဏီပိုင္ရွင္တစ္ဦးအတြက္ ကုမၸဏီေတြအားလုံးက ေငြေၾကးစိုက္ထုတ္ေပးရတဲ႔႔
သေဘာၿဖစ္သြားမွာေပါ႔” I do not really agree on this. I may disagree on
what they have charged if you want to join the event under the
umbrella of Myanmar Travel Association because the price are so
expensive compare to have its own booth by paying slightly higher with
more benefits. This is your own choice of joining the event as
individual with your own booth, whether affordable or not is your own
problem.
Of course the T/A association and Marketing Committee could have done
better transparency under the name of Myanmar Promotion if you get
free booths (such as, ATF, TTM or any other regional events). The old
practices should be changed where in the past the ministry did not
have budgets to participate in those events, the association with
privileged members used to promote their own companies.
TAT is not travel agents association in Thailand, that is a part of
govt’s body and it has its own budgetary, incomes so TAT can do lots
of promotion as well as issuing rules & regulations, acts, policies,
planning, organizing events, etc.. That cannot be compared with Travel
Agents association in MM.
If one wants to know more about TAT: visit the TAT act:

So, come back to the topic above, yes, we need a kind of Tourism

Positive, everything will be just fine

Harry Hpone Thant: My experience id that TAT allotted one booth at
annual TTM+ events for the Myanmar Ministry of Hotels & Tourism. The
Ministry then assigns UMTA to represent Myanmar at these events. Many
Myanmar travel agencies take out their own booths, on their own
expense, at TTM+ but for those companies who do not wish to open own
booth UMTA takes their brochures to be displayed at the Myanmar
booth.The booth is always staffed by UMTA staff(mostly by Daw Thidar
Htun, Head of office of UMTA until she retired). Of course other
Myanmar travel companies who participate at TTM+event or just visiting
TTM+ are welcomed at the Myanmar booth but they are on their own
expense.
Also as for U Khin Maung Htwe, he had never approached UMTA for any
support. His participation at various events abroad were the result of
direct invitations to him.
The participation of Myanmar travel agencies at WTM/ITB etc are also
organized by MMC but MMC is just an an organizer. Individual companies
contribute and are allotted and share space at the Myanmar booth. It
is like sharing the expense, as U Win Zaw explained. TAT is not a
trade association. UMTA is a trade association.In the Tourism Master
Plan there is a provision to form an agency like TAT in Myanmar also.

was a member of UMTA since we established HOMM in 2006. HOMM offered
UMTA to promote puppetry in their events and we'll be participated by
our own expenses. We just had an opportunity to perform for the ASEAN
deligates in a dinner. After that, no other interest to promote us. I
had to pay annual member fees only and finally ceased membership by
ourself. Daw Thidar Htun knows well about this.
Once, MMC brought us to Naypyidaw for Travel Show, they used us just
to show how they are promoting traditional culture. Finally, we
decided not to find the support in travel industry.

Win Zaw: Creating topic and raising up is a good to argue and get the
experiences. However, As I mentioned in the other day when someone
posted about " အခ်ိန္ ၁၀မိနစ္ရမွဖတ္ပါ - talking about don't ask what
the Govt does for you, ask what you do for the country" the topic
should really raise to educate / give the correct information to
others. Not just with what you have assumed!
In fact, the above topic should really be discovered or learn directly
at the association if you are a member of that. Instead, it strays
others. In reality, the topic should be: What is UMTA doing? Passing
message that someone relocate their office, or relay message from MOT,
where MOT can instruct all regulations through emails, newspapers
nowadays.
In order to have a transparency, all EC or directors should only be
maximum 2 years terms (the current constitution of UMTA does not have
it), so that any other member who want to perform the objectives of
the association, they will have a chance. This will avoid all
misunderstanding on the association as well as there might be someone
who can do better than current ones, who knows.
If you welcome the comments, i believe a good time to change, the new
year is very still very young! Happy New Year to you all!

Harry Hpone Thant: U Win Zaw, as I understand there is now a committee
to review the UMTA Constitution. When the original Constitution was
drafted it was in a different environment so some of the clauses do
not confirm with democratic principles.But it was drafted by a legal
professional, translated into English my me and we had to put it up
for approval to MOHT. So , yes, we believe there are many clauses that
need to be amended to conform with today's environment. Then there
still need to draft the procedures and rules and regulations for the
Association-how to conduct the AGM, nomination process, the election,
financial regulations etc.We were not able to do that during our
tenure as we were not in reality an independent organization.

the new generation won't have that much patient. I thought the last

review is not enough for sure. I hope this won't go up to the end of

Thatoe Thuzaraung: In the near future, I’ll participate UMTA meetings
and discussions to know how we can improve this association. I believe
we all need an association in which we can rely on.
As mentioned on Ko Win Zaw's comment, UMTA job today is only passing
message to travel agencies and sharing data analysis of tourist
arrival that we can also receive it easily via journals. Nothing
changes more throughout these years.
In terms of transparency, we should include for instance 2 years term
for EC and president of the association in a new constitution. Seeing
same persons for decades without any improvement of association make
misunderstanding among the members.
In fact, members still believe that UMTA is not representing the
agencies and is just an existing association appointed by former
government.
According to U Harry Hpone Thant's comment, there is a committee to
review the constitution, so let’s see how it works ! I'm positive for
that matter.
If I allow giving my remarks, the election held by UMTA will NEVER
work as we all know that members do not interested of UMTA's election.
In reality, they are members because they have to be member of
existing association to be able to maintain their image and product.
That's it.
Why UMTA is so neglected by the members? The truth is, members just
don’t believe that UMTA represents them.
For being so, we do have to change this mindset. We need FULL
attention from every member in this domain.
How could we do?
The answer depends on the willingness of changing within actual
committee members, former gurus, pioneers (like U Phone Thant, U Aung
Kyaw…) and ( of course like ME who just ignored of UMTA affair during
former government for the reasons mentioned above). If so, new UMTA
will be born.

Harry Hpone Thant: Ma Thatoe is right when she said the previous UMTA
ECs were selected and appointed by the govt(i.e MHOT) and the election
was by electing a slate rather than individuals.And that was because
of the political environment at that time. But all Excom members of
UMTA of that time diligently worked for the betterment of the industry
despite the prevailing constraints and restraints during those times.
I hope , in the future, all will actively participate in the
activities to amend the Constitution to conform with democratic
principles as well as in other activities.
My thoughts are (1) any new methods for nomination to get more
participation and representation;(3) Oversight of the election
process;(4)Handling of questions at the AGM;(5) whether the Chairman
is elected as done now(i.e the elected ECs select the person from
among them to become the Chairman) or the members elected the
Chairman, Vice Chairmen, the Gen Secy and the Joint Gen Secy, the
Treasurer separately(other EC members can be elected in the normal
way).

Harry Hpone Thant As for Thatoe's remarks that UMTA is just a post
office passing messages from MOHT I would like to suggest UMTA to make
their website more pro-active where all activities of UMTA are posted
with up to date news. For that I think there is now a fulltime IT
person and even a sub-Committee to oversee that work.

Harry Hpone Thant: During the previous times membership of UMTA was
compulsory, i.e MOHT demands the membership of UMTA to renew the
travel license. But now UMTA must show its potential and commitment to
advance and develop the industry and work for and on behalf of its
members and gain legitimacy, instill confidence. Only then the UMTA
membership will increase and gain the trust of its members

the year.

Thatoe Thuzaraung: In the near future, I’ll participate UMTA meetings
and discussions to know how we can improve this association. I believe
we all need an association in which we can rely on.
As mentioned on Ko Win Zaw's comment, UMTA job today is only passing
message to travel agencies and sharing data analysis of tourist
arrival that we can also receive it easily via journals. Nothing
changes more throughout these years.
In terms of transparency, we should include for instance 2 years term
for EC and president of the association in a new constitution. Seeing
same persons for decades without any improvement of association make
misunderstanding among the members.
In fact, members still believe that UMTA is not representing the
agencies and is just an existing association appointed by former
government.
According to U Harry Hpone Thant's comment, there is a committee to
review the constitution, so let’s see how it works ! I'm positive for
that matter.
If I allow giving my remarks, the election held by UMTA will NEVER
work as we all know that members do not interested of UMTA's election.
In reality, they are members because they have to be member of
existing association to be able to maintain their image and product.
That's it.
Why UMTA is so neglected by the members? The truth is, members just
don’t believe that UMTA represents them.
For being so, we do have to change this mindset. We need FULL
attention from every member in this domain.
How could we do?
The answer depends on the willingness of changing within actual
committee members, former gurus, pioneers (like U Phone Thant, U Aung
Kyaw…) and ( of course like ME who just ignored of UMTA affair during
former government for the reasons mentioned above). If so, new UMTA
will be born.

Harry Hpone Thant: Ma Thatoe is right when she said the previous UMTA
ECs were selected and appointed by the govt(i.e MHOT) and the election
was by electing a slate rather than individuals.And that was because
of the political environment at that time. But all Excom members of
UMTA of that time diligently worked for the betterment of the industry
despite the prevailing constraints and restraints during those times.
I hope , in the future, all will actively participate in the
activities to amend the Constitution to conform with democratic
principles as well as in other activities.
My thoughts are (1) any new methods for nomination to get more
participation and representation;(3) Oversight of the election
process;(4)Handling of questions at the AGM;(5) whether the Chairman
is elected as done now(i.e the elected ECs select the person from
among them to become the Chairman) or the members elected the
Chairman, Vice Chairmen, the Gen Secy and the Joint Gen Secy, the
Treasurer separately(other EC members can be elected in the normal
way).

Harry Hpone Thant As for Thatoe's remarks that UMTA is just a post
office passing messages from MOHT I would like to suggest UMTA to make
their website more pro-active where all activities of UMTA are posted
with up to date news. For that I think there is now a fulltime IT
person and even a sub-Committee to oversee that work.

Harry Hpone Thant: During the previous times membership of UMTA was
compulsory, i.e MOHT demands the membership of UMTA to renew the
travel license. But now UMTA must show its potential and commitment to
advance and develop the industry and work for and on behalf of its
members and gain legitimacy, instill confidence. Only then the UMTA
membership will increase and gain the trust of its members
