  <abstract>Tourism in Myanmar has been significantly booming since the government has positively  changed  in  2008.  Numbers  of  tourists'  arrival  are  exponentially  increasing.  Likewise,  numbers  of  tou rism  related  business  has  also  relatively  growing.  As  a  result,  service  industry  becomes  the  most  important  sector  of  Myanmar  economy,  which  accounts  for  over 38 percent of annual GDP.  However, tourism in Myanmar is only being operated mainly in four dest inations Yangon,  Inle  Lake,  Mandalay  and  Bagan.  Therefore,  the  aim  of  this  research  is  to  expand  tourism  destination  by  promoting  a  new  underdeveloped  destination  called  MraukOo  which  is  famous  among  Myanmar  people  for  its  religious  buildings  scattered  aro und  the  town,  presenting the diversity of ancient Rakhine architectural styles of 15 th to 18 th century.   In order to develop new destination, the analysis of Tourists' Satisfaction provides strength  and  weakness  upon  current  capacity  so  as  to  be  able  to  m aintain  or  implement  different  areas in MraukOo. In this study, attempts have been made to evaluate domestic visitors and  international   tourists'   satisfaction   on   tourism   products   such   as;   attraction - recreation,  infrastructure,  transportation/travel,  accomm odation  and  catering  according  to  their  travel  experience.   Data   was   collected   from   questionnaires   survey   based   on   domestic   and  international visitors' travel experience and key informant interview with  MOHT officials  and private stakeholders.  The  research study  has  also  led  to  recommendations,  one  of  which  is  the  maintenance  of  culture and costume of Rakhine which is the only factor that made visitors highly satisfied  to visit MraukOo.</abstract>
