Corona Virus (Covid-19) Company Policy

Corona Virus (Covid – 19) Company Policy

The rapid spread of Covid-19 virus is threatening our lives, safety, economy and well beings. During these tough times, we all need to look out for each other and support as much as we can. We have to protect our families, colleagues, neighbors and also our travellers. This impromptu policy has been set in our company to ensure that our travellers get the right information at the right time.

What we are doing for travellers with existing bookings

If you want to postpone or cancel your travel plans, we are working for you 24/7 via email (info@wazotravels.com)

For cancellations due to virus outbreak, we (Wazo Travels) do not charge any cancellations fees however some airline and hotels may charge partial cancellation fees since there is no official announcement for them to be closed from the government yet. (As of 03.04.2020)

In this case, we will try our best to negotiate for the lowest cancellation fees.

For postponing your trip, most of the hotels are understanding and will be able to reschedule your trip until Dec 2020. If the outbreak is still happening, we will try to extend the date for you. Unfortunately, airlines will not provide such service so you might have to purchase the tickets again. We will provide assistance for you in that matter with no service fees.

The latest health & safety information

During your trip:

Avoid spending time in large crowds or crowded areas.
Avoid contact with sick people, especially if they have a cough, fever or difficulty breathing.
Be aware of the local situation and follow local public health advice.
Monitoring the news
Following the instructions of local authorities
Know where to find help while you are travelling abroad
Save emergency contacts (Embassies, Airlines, and Hospitals etc.)

Visa information into Myanmar

Currently all the social visas to Myanmar are restricted until 30.04.2020.
Any Myanmar citizens employees working for UN and Myanmar Embassy can apply for entry visa and have to submit medical certificate which is taken within 72 hours prior to the travelling date. Those who have landed will be under Home Quarantine for 14 days.
Foreign nationals who are required to visit Myanmar on urgent official mission or for a compelling reason may contact the nearest Myanmar Missions abroad for possible exception on certain entry restrictions from the authorities concerned of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar

Why you shouldn't cancel your trip:

Fri, 20 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0200

It is indubitable that all of us should stop all the unnecessary travels right now and it may not feel right even thinking about travel right now. BUT when this pandemic is over, you will want to.

About 10 percent of the world works in tourism industry. The damage does not only end with travel agencies and airlines, the porters at Kyaikhtiyo, handicrafts sellers at Bagan and street stalls all over the country. Soon they will have nothing.

Postponing your tours instead of cancelling could be the kindest thing you can do right now.

We are happy to provide all our clients free cancellations and travel vouchers if they want to postpone their trips.

“We are all in this together. Defer, don’t cancel!”

A Unique Way to Discover Art in Myanmar
Let’s leave Europe for this Blog Entry. Let’s go to South East Asia – Welcome to Myanmar!

When you google “Myanmar” you can find all sorts of Travel Tips that include temples, archaeological beauties, stunningly flourishing nature and all in all a preview to an unspoiled, enchanted part of Asia. But since the most (…if not all) of our readers are interested in art in conjunction with culture… this article is about Wazo-Travels, an organisation that is all about art journeys and holidays!

“We are the sole and only tour operator in Myanmar specializing in Art Tours and we warmly welcome Art Lovers of the World to come and capture the scenic beauties and ancient art & culture of The Golden Land.”

There are art tour programs in which you can discover Myanmar’s artistic side beyond ‘just’ art galleries and exhibitions – you’ll meet local artists and artisans and create your very own artwork! What a souvenir. That was the art-tour part – in case you’re rather interested in cultural tours, you’ll be happy about their offer as well. As they specialize in authentic cultural experiences, you’ll be able to discover the heartbeat of Myanmar's must-see destinations, and participate in the daily lives of its local residents.
