Boom-time as Burma Comes in From the Cold

More Information

Mountain Kingdoms, a specialist in worldwide mountain trekking holidays based in the U.K., are one of a number of companies that have been impressed by the public’s appetite for visiting Burma.

Less than two years ago, the advice from almost all tourism bodies and travel companies was that foreign travel to the country was strongly discouraged. However, following the change in the stance of the National League for Democracy (Burma’s main opposition party) and the lifting of their tourism boycott, companies such as Mountain Kingdoms have seen an incredible amount of growth in the number of people choosing to travel to the Southeast Asian state.

Mountain Kingdoms are a great example of a company that was well aware that Burma was going to be popular once it became more politically stable but nonetheless has struggled to keep up with demand, so great has it been. The company has found that almost every departure arranged to the country is quickly selling out and, whilst  this is great news for the country’s weak economy, it is putting some pressure on Burma’s limited hotel and accommodation stock.
