Should you visit Myanmar (Burma)??

Some travellers are still concerned about traveling to Myanmar (Burma) because of the current political regime. Many Burma-oriented human rights groups support a boycott of tourism (which they see as endorsing the government). For us and many other travelers - we feel that travel dollars mean work for Burmese people, and contact with visitors from abroad do help open a window to the outside world for them. We can only say that visit to Myanmar (Burma) will truly be one of your most memorable travel experiences in your entire lives!
