EVERY Friday, I received advertising email from Jetstar Airways as I was a register customer. Also notice on local papers that there are several low cost carrier advertising their highlighting routes for lowest fare possible. As Airasia's famous quote "Everybody can fly now", their convincing advertising seem their offer can be easily afforded by everybody. But what make me disappoint is I am unable to find my country's cities in the list. Even Cambodia has two cities in the list at capital city, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. In fact, Myanmar is best known for its natural resource and wild beautiful spots that could easily attract any tourist from the world. We have several beaches to compete with Thailand & Indonesia's famous beaches. Our ancient city, Bagan, is no less quality than Cambodia's Anchor Watt. We have three seasons at summer, rainy and winter that our fellow ASEAN countries don't have. Geographically, We are at the cross-road of Asia. We are real gateway to ASEAN region from Indian Ocean.
Given condition, our tourism deserve than current position. What make our country outside the list of promotion? Perhaps, the difficulty of getting Visa and lack of cooperation with regional body are some of the reason behind. Why not our authority open fully to the market to ease transportation? If we are suppose to develop our tourism, we have to create level ground in the market. We are going to enter free-trade zone within ASEAN in 2015 which is near future. Our local companies should have been exposure with outside world amap. To date, we are still not eligible to enjoy promotion packages that are offered by low cost carrier while our counterparts from other countries enjoy to its fullest. I would like to request our authority to review the situation and improve the connectivity by allowing regional rivals to fly our land. It won't be a solution if our authority afraid of losing when they open market in favor of crony-own flights. May our leaders be long-sighted people with the interest of our people.
