Asia Transpacific Journeys Offers New & Time-Tested Tours to Myanmar
"A new era of openness and optimism is dawning in Burma, akin to what Europe experienced at the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989,” says Marilyn Downing Staff, founder of Asia Transpacific Journeys, who pioneered trips to Burma in the ‘80s. “Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi announced she will run for a seat in parliament, which is a great indicator of Burma's monumental change,” says Ms. Staff.

A beautiful traditional culture remains almost untouched by modern influences. Exquisite temples, crumbling pagodas and pristine islands await discovery. The lovely rural countryside is home to some of the most welcoming people in Asia. Fabulous restored colonial villas and boutique hotels in traditional style dot the land.
