Tourism in Myanmar缅甸旅游
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tourism in Myanmar (also known as Burma) is a slowly developing sector.
Although Burma possesses great tourist potential and attractions in many fields, much of the industry remains to be developed. Also, the number of visitors to Burma is small compared to her neighbors - even outpaced by Laos. This is primarily due to its current political situation. However, after the junta transferred power to the civilian government, the tourism sector saw an increase in tourism arrivals and in 2012, tourist arrivals surpassed the one million mark for the first time. In 2013, the Tourism Master Plan was created, targeting 7.5 million arrivals by 2020. Tourism in Burma has been developed mainly by the government, but many private enterprises do exist, catering to a wide range of tourists.
Since 1992, the government has encouraged tourism in the country.
In 2010, 791,505 foreign tourists visited Myanmar, with 295,174 foreign tourists entering the country via Yangon International Airport.
In 2012, more than 1 million foreign tourists visited Myanmar and that figure is expected to rise to around 1.5 million in 2013.
In 2013, the number of foreign arrivals reached more than 2.04 million, counting both air and overland arrivals.
Tourism has been promoted by advocacy groups as a method of providing economic benefit to Burmese civilians, and to avoid isolating the country from the rest of the world. Voices for Burma, a pro-democracy advocate group, states, "We believe that small-scale, responsible tourism can create more benefits than harm. So long as tourists are fully aware of the situation and take steps to maximize their positive impact and minimize the negatives, we feel their visit can be beneficial overall. Responsible tourists can help Burma primarily by bringing money to local communities and small businesses, and by raising awareness of the situation worldwide."
Regardless, a majority of advocacy groups discourage tourism. The junta's forced labor programs were focused around tourist destinations which have been heavily criticized for their human rights records. A former Burmese tourism minister estimated that 12% of the government revenues are derived from tourism, with the tourism industry contributing $182 million USD (2007) to the government's annual budget.

旅游业在缅甸是个发展缓慢的部门。尽管在很多方面缅甸拥有巨大旅游者潜力和众多旅游景点，缅甸旅游业很大方面仍有待发展。此外缅甸的入境游客远不如其邻国，甚至不如老挝，这主要归咎于其当前政治现状。但在军政府移交政权给人民政府后，旅游业在2012年有所增长，入境游客首次突破百万。2013年推出了“旅游业总计划”，目标是在2020年达到750万入境游客。缅甸旅游业发展主要依靠政府，但也有许多私营企业向游客提供各种服务。
自1992年来缅甸政府就鼓励发展旅游业。
2010年791505名外国游客访问缅甸，其中295174名外国游客通过仰光国际机场入境。
2012年超过1百万外国游客入境，该数字预计在2013年达到150万。 2013年入境游客达到204万人（空运、陆运）
一些游说团体将旅游业作为向缅甸民众提供经济利益、避免被世界孤立的手段来推动。
民主拥护团体“缅甸之声”表示，“我们相信小范围的有责任的旅游能创造更多利益而不是伤害。只要旅游者能完全认识到当前局势并最大化其积极影响并最小化消极影响，我们觉得他们过来是总体有益的。有责任的旅游者主要能帮助缅甸社团及小生意挣钱，能让世界意识到缅甸的现状。”
尽管如此仍有一些游说团体不鼓励发展旅游业。军政府的强迫劳动计划侧重于一些人权记录被人们的严厉批评的旅游目的地。一位前缅甸旅游部长估计，12％的政府收入来自旅游业，旅游业为政府的年度预算贡献了1.82亿美元（2007年）。
In the 2010-2011 fiscal year, tourists comprised 73.84% (313,127 arrivals) of overseas visitors, primarily entering the country by air, representing 69.26% of arrivals, followed by land and sea, which represented 29.97% and 0.77% of arrivals respectively. An additional 110,914 visitors arrived through other visa types AND represented an additional 26.16% of the total.In 2012, revenues from tourism jumped to over $534 million in 2012, up from $315 million in 2011.

Burma's pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi has, in the past, asked for tourism to be boycotted. However, she has not asserted this view recently. This might be due to public opinion being in favour of tourism. The majority of democracy advocates demand a complete boycott of tourism to Burma. Other pro-democracy activists, such as Ma Thanegi, advocate small scale tourism, and careful spending.
In May 2011, however, Aung San Suu Kyi and her party National League for Democracy expressed the opinion that responsible tourism to Burma should be encouraged. Tourists are welcome to Burma provided they are "keen to promote the welfare of the common people and the conservation of the environment and to acquire an insight into the cultural, political and social life of the country while enjoying a happy and fulfilling holiday in Burma." In their official statement they request not only the development of the people's livelihood but also the promotion of "self respect and self reliance in the people."
Certain tour books, such as Lonely Planet, cover Burma, stating that it provides balanced information and spending methods to get the money into the hands of the people, while some, such as Rough Guides, refuse to publish on Burma. Most Ministries of Foreign Affairs in the Western world recommend travel agencies and citizens not to engage in tourism activities in Burma.
Research conducted in 2012 cautions against the assumption that more foreign tourism, even in the framework of the government's "Responsible Tourism Policy," would
automatically support the people of Burma and lead to a Trickle-down effect.Rather, it concludes, tourism would most likely benefit crony businesses and further entrench human rights violations.
缅甸的民主领袖昂山素季过去曾要求抵制旅游业。然而她最近没有都这么表示，
可能是由于舆论赞成旅游业。大多数民主主义游说者要求缅甸完全抵制旅游业。其他民主活动家，如马塔尼吉，倡导小规模旅游和谨慎支出。
然而2011年5月昂山素季及其全国民主联盟表示，应鼓励对缅甸负责任的旅游、欢迎游客来缅甸，因为他们“热衷于促进普通人的福祉和环境保护，并了解缅甸的文化，政治和社会生活，同时在缅甸享受一个快乐和充实的假期。”在他们的官方声明中，他们不仅要求发展民生，而且要促进“人民的自尊和自力更生”。
某些旅游指南，如《孤独星球》涵盖缅甸，说缅甸提供了平衡的信息和支出方法并把钱给到人民的手中，而另一些如《罗浮旅游指南》拒绝在缅甸出版。西方大多数外交部建议旅行社和公民不要在缅甸从事旅游活动。
2012年进行的研究对“更多的外国旅游业将自动支持缅甸人民并导致涓滴效应”的假设提出警告，即使在政府的“负责任旅游政策”框架下。相反，它的结论是，旅游业最有可能有益于裙带企业并导致侵犯情况加剧。
