The interior of Uppatasanti Pagoda in Nay Pyi Taw is beautifully decorated in a style which exudes a rather contemporary feel. Than Htut, chair of the Nay Pyi Taw Hotel Entrepreneurs Association said on average around 1,000 of the available hotel rooms were occupied on any day. Than Htut added that efforts to create promotional videos for Nay Pyi Taw tourism are already underway. The more the information about Nay Pyi Taw’s lures can be disseminated the more the capital’s popularity will improve, he added. Making Nay Pyi Taw popular in the near future is not impossible, but it will take some time, he said.
