Don't stay in government-owned hotels. Stay at private, locally owned hotels or guest houses. Take Iocal transport. Buy handicrafts directly from the artisans rather than from government shops. Whatever you decide, there isn't a single indication that government repression, which has thrived on 34 years of political isolation and virtual non-visitation, will somehow slacken due to a relative lack of foreign visitors.
Tourism remains one of the only industries to which the ordinary people have access.
Any reduction in tourism automatically means a reduction in local income-earning opportunities. For this reason alone, I continue to believe that the positives of travel to Burma outweigh the negatives.
