Burma is chosen as the tourist destination which assists in affects its appeal and attracting
large number of tourists to the chosen place. Burma has been known as by its other name and it
is Myanmar. The culture of Myanmar has been extensively influenced by Buddhism and Mon
people (Lin and Juan, 2010). British colonial and westernisation have influenced the culture,
language and education of the Burmese people. The country is comprises of various
characteristics which attracts large number of tourists and they are its arts, literature, folk dance

people by which their talks to other people attracts many people to visit the places and to know

which attracts many of the people to see the Burmese culture is its religious sites. The country is

of disadvantages in their travelling. The regulatory framework of TUI of any type which
affects the aspects tourism , visitors try to avoid it.
 Terrorism: This is also one of the aspect which is reducing the tourists to visit the
particular country because they can attack any time. People doesn't want to harm their life

ones and friends for the destination. Through this, the demand of the destination will can
12
