But “The Rough Guides group”, which unlike Lonely Planet refuses to publish a guide to Burma on ethnical grounds, says it has no plans yet to reverse its stance.

“We’re greatly heartened by the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and hope this will ultimately help open Burma to travelers. However, we think it is too soon for a complete change of mind,” said Clare Currie, the company’s publishing director. “We are not currently planning to publish a guidebook to Burma – such a guide would really depend upon sustained improvements in the political situation as well as on a proven and robust travel infrastructure.”
