Recent posts on the popular social media app from widely followed accounts such as National Geographic photographer Ira Block and online travel start-up Passion Passport highlight the shift from little-known destination to sought-after travel destination.
Block, who visited Myanmar in February on a personal visit, has posted 16 photos to his following of more than 238,000 users, documenting the ongoings of a nation many outsiders view as completely foreign. He spoke at Myanmar Deitta gallery on February 3 and identified Myanmar photographers as a key aspect of the country’s exposure.
“I am very impressed with what they are doing,” he said. “They are very good photographers, and they are working to be better photographers.” (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
