Tourism businesses on Burma ‘Dirty List’
LONDON – Tourism and travel companies feature prominently in the Burma Campaign’s revised “Dirty Listâ€- a compendium of businesses which continue to do business with the military regime.
More than 40 of the 154 companies listed have links to the tourism sector, including hotels, airlines, guidebook publishers, diving companies and tour operators.
Tourism Concern is campaigning for UK-based tour operators doing business with Burma to pull out until democracy has been restored, as requested by Burma’s democratically-elected leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
Tourism provides significant revenue and symbolic support to the regime, says Tourism Concern.
BBC Worldwide, which became the majority shareholder of the Lonely Planet guidebook series last year, appears on the Dirty List for the first time.
Tourism Concern and the Burma Campaign have been pushing for the Lonely Planet guidebook on Burma to be withdrawn.
