French Triangle d'Or Tourism Thrive



Subject: French Triangle d'Or Tourism Thrives

All around Paris, in the newspapers and shop windows of travel agencies
although enthusiastically led by the larger agencies, ASIA, Kuoni,
countless smaller agencies like Accor Tour, Club Aventure make up for a
virtually inexhaustible list of french business support of Burma tourism
today. Its rather depressing, when, Sunday night, walking around the
Paris Quatier Latin for dinner, to pass in front of several agencies
with beautiful Asian models starring at you from the Golden Triangle
Tour. Its enough to give anyone indigestion, especially when you see the
AIDS statistics. Does French Health Minister Bernard KOUCHNER have
anything to say about AIDS, or for that matter, though we read his
support of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in the french version of Alan Clement's
Dossier Noir Birmanie, what is he doing now about TOTAL and French
Tourism to Burma?

It would be pertinent to have a clarification now, in light of the
current uproar in the US over the ASIA SOCIETY Burma tour fiasco. Let's
see some figures on French tourism to Burma, if you please. The French
embassy should have 98/97 figures handily available for you, and posting
here.

Would Info-Birmanie please post some figures and bring us up to date on
what happening now in France on this second wave of tourism to Burma.
