In order to monopolise
the tourism industry, the ruling junta have been 'restoring' the
temples at Pagan; an act UNESCO
calls "archeological blitzkreig", and using forced labour
to develop potential tourist areas. With

people will benefit from an increase in package-style tourism but can backpackers spend their money in such a way that it genuinely benefits local people? Join the debate at our
