Myanmar's Tourist Dreams Fade

A bartender makes a drink at the Yangon Yangon bar, located atop the Sakura Tower, in Yangon, Myanmar, on Monday, June 12, 2017. When the country opened to the outside world in 2011 after decades of military rule, the former British colony held promise as one of the worlds hottest tourist destinations, a last frontier for adventure travel. But it hasn't worked out that way. A construction glut has flooded Myanmar with unused hotel rooms, and poorly regulated building has damaged national treasures like the archaeological site of Bagan.
