Subject: JTB targetted for Burma package tours

February 18, 1997

Six representatives from the Japanese New Otani Support Group went to the
main Osaka office of Japan Travel Bureau today.  During a meeting with two
JTB managers they presented a statement urging JTB to end package tours
using New Otani Hotels which are presently embroiled in serious labor
disputes and to Burma (Myanmar) where the military dictatorship is notorious
for its human rights abuses.  

The group cited JTB's organizing of package tours to Burma as another
example of their deplorable lack of morality in business.  

The meeting ended after lengthy but inconclusive discussions.  Further
actions are planned.
