Country Profile

Myanmar

Officially Republic of the Union of Myanmar (formerly Burma) is an underdeveloped agrarian country ruled by an authoritarian military regime. The country's government suppresses all expression of opposition to its rule. After a long period of isolation, Myanmar has started to encourage tourism. Foreigners can expect to pay several times more than locals do for accommodations, domestic airfares, and entry to tourist sites. Tourist facilities in Rangoon, Bagan, Ngapali Beach, Inle Lake, and Mandalay are superior to tourist facilities in other parts of the country, where they are limited. Please note that visitors should travel with sufficient cash to cover their expenses for the duration of their visit. Traveler’s checks and credit cards are not accepted anywhere, and ATM machines are nonexistent in Myanmar . (See "Currency" and “U.S. Treasury Sanctions" below.) Read the Department of State's Background Notes on Myanmar for additional information.
