Market Mix, 2016
Leisure and Corporate travel dominate the Yangon
hotel market
Leisure travel was the largest segment in 2016. Most of this demand is
captured through direct hotel channels, contracted rates with OTAs and / or
wholesale packages. Leisure guests generally value support facilities such
as shopping and food and beverage outlets that are within close proximity to
their hotel.

Corporate demand has traditionally accounted for a large portion of total
room nights demanded within the Yangon hotel market due to the city's
reputation as the economic centre of Myanmar. Major feeder industries
typically include oil and gas, banking and finance, non-government
organisations and telecommunications. Location of competitive properties
tend to play a large role in capturing corporate demand, especially with
traffic conditions in Yangon. This source market is typically preferred by
hotels as they provide stable occupancy levels and reasonable average
room rates.
