Myanmar has announced that it may reopen to tourism in early 2022. But while most countries that closed their borders did so solely to prevent the spread of Covid-19, the country is also still dealing with the aftereffects of a coup.
(CNN) — As multiple Southeast Asia countries begin to ease travel restrictions, Myanmar, which boasts some of the region's most spectacular destinations, has announced that it hopes to begin welcoming international tourists in early 2022.
