Hotel policy is broken: Here?s how to fix it

Description: 

"Myanmar?s tourism sector will benefit in the long run if officials spend more time managing destinations and less protecting existing hotels, and instead lets the market decide which properties succeed or fail...WHAT?S THE difference between a hotel and a bed and breakfast? Why does Inle Lake have an ugly scar on its eastern shore? Why are some guesthouses banned from having signboards in English and others are required to have them?

It has frequently contradicted other policies, such as those for community-based tourism and environmental protection...." Tags: Tourism...
