On 24th April 1996, Burmese students from All Burma Students
Democratic Organisation (ABSDO) and Australian students from
National Union of Students staged a strongly protest against
Tourism Film Night organised by Travel Indo-China company under
the name of Conncorde International Company.
The company held the opening ceremony of Tourism Film Night and
had a plan to show a film which intended to encourage Visit
Myanmar Year 96. At the time, Burmese and Australian students
were distributing leaflets against Visit Myanmar Year 96 and
shouting the slogans and holding the placards. "Boycott tourism....,
Boycott Burma.........., Boycott Visit Myanmar Year 96.............
and Free Burma, now.....Boycott....Boycott.....Boycott.............
Students' protest was finished sucessfully after the director of
the company said that the Tourism Film Night have been cancelled.
Students will be pushing the Tourism company to cancel any
further film nights which support Visit Myanmar Year 96 and
any visit to Burma.
