Exploration Travel Myanmar has announced a new tour that visits the UNESCO World heritage temples of Bagan virtually, TTRweekly reported.

In the first week of operation, the company says it has sold several tours to clients from tour operators in Germany and the Netherlands and is planning to expand to other tour operators worldwide and other locations in Myanmar.

According to Exploration’s Managing Director, Edwin Briels, the main reason to launch these virtual tours is to “create jobs and income for Bagan based tourist guides who have been deprived of any income since March last year.
