Burma Travel Information
The Union of Myanmar (usually unofficially known as Burma) is a Southeast
Asian country. It is bordered by
Bangladesh,
India,
Laos,
the People's Republic of China,
and Thailand,
and has a long coastline on the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea.
As of
2009,
the country had an estimated population of just over 50 million.
About 4.3 million people live in the country's largest city, and former capital,
Yangon (Rangoon). The next largest city is Mandalay which has a population of
around 1 million. The country's third largest city is the capital
(since
2005),
and is brand new city, called Naypyidaw, which has a population of nearly
1 million.
Since
1962,
when the military took power in a coup and adopted policies known as
the "Burmese Way to Socialism", the country has been relative
isolated, as well as suffering relative economic decline. Few foreigners
visit the country, inward investment is limited, and many countries
have placed sanctions or restrictions on trade with the country. The
regime begun to encourage tourists to visit the country again since
1992,
but only about 750,000 tourists visit Burma annually, and Nobel prize winning
opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has requested that tourists not visit
the country.
