The Undisturbed Beauty of Myanmar – My Modern Metropolis.

It’s interesting to talk of the “undisturbed beauty of Myanmar (Burma)”. I shall be in Myanmar (Burma) most of December and it seems to me that there is an explosion of interest in Myanmar (Burma). This week UK  Prime Minister David Cameron is there and recent visitors include UK Foreign Secretary,  William Hague and US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton.

Also every major travel agent seems to be talking about  Myanmar (Burma) being the latest hot destination.

I wonder just how long Myanmar will stay undisturbed? When will the package tourists and cruises start arriving?

I suppose the debate is bigger than responsible travel, and with all the heavy-hitters visiting, there’s the politics of economic development, alliances and trade.

Do you have any views on what will happen in Myanmar in the next few years?

We plan to be in Myanmar (Burma) most of December 2012, including Christmas and New Year.

People in the travel industry tell us that we are pioneers as  Myanmar (Burma) is only just opening up to foreign travel. It will certainly be an interesting experience to blog about. Would be delighted to get a few tips from people who have already visited  Myanmar (Burma)?
