HOT-air balloon rides are a popular annual attraction in the Ancient Bagan Cultural Heritage Zone, allowing visitors to enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the ancient cultural heritage. This December, BOB Ballooning Company is offering a special discount programme as a New Year gift for visitors under 18 and over 60 years old.
"This year, we’ve seen an increase in travellers, especially during full moon days starting with the Thadingyut Festival. December will feature the Alodawpyae Pagoda Festival, making it a vibrant time for travel. As Bagan is a culturally rich destination highly regarded by international tourists within ASEAN, we are enhancing our services during this peak season. For the first time, we are providing discounts for those aged over 60 and under 18," a responsible personnel from Ballooning Over Bagan explained.
Hot-air ballooning is a major tourism attraction in many European and Asian countries, offering unique views of cities, mountains, gardens, and cultural heritage sites. These services significantly boost tourism revenue in regions rich in natural and cultural assets.
Within ASEAN, Myanmar's Bagan region is a standout destination, attracting both domestic and international tourists with its rich heritage. To help visitors fully appreciate the beauty of Bagan from above, the company is providing its services throughout December, accompanied by a special discount programme. — Thitsa (MNA)/TMT
