Boycott of Lonely Planet Travel Guides
Aung San Suu Kyi with the support of the democracy movement have called for a complete halt to trade with the military junta.
Union Aid Abroad is calling for a boycott of all Lonely Planet Publications until Lonely Planet withdraws its 'Burma' travel guide form the market.
The development of hotels, transport and tourist attractions to encourage visitors to Burma is directly linked to mass human rights abuses. Added to this, tourist dollars go straight into the hands of the dictatorship. For these reasons Aung San Suu Kyi has asked tourists not to visit Burma. Against the weight of this advice, Lonely Planet publications continues to promote tourism to Burma, through their Burma guide.
