For four days the Nobel Peace has been the focus of large groups of Burmese residents in Began, a city of temples more visit the growing number of foreign tourists traveling to this Asian country.

The news of the presence of activist Began, about eight months after it was released, he encouraged many hundreds of Burmese from neighboring towns to travel for hours to see Sue Kyiv, and despite being popular in captivity lived 15 years the last 21.

Sue Kyiv has visited Buddhist monasteries, has met with their abbots, protected forest areas has come and has made it possible to see the area as part of a strategy to measure the level of freedom the government is willing to give.

About a dozen members of the National League for Democracy (NLD) have been responsible for ensuring the safety of their leader since last Monday flew to Began and all movements that have been closely followed by effective Police equipped with cameras and video.

The local supporters of the League have welcomed Sue Kyiv has come and where they have refrained from asking to meet with her in order not to travel, party sources said.

With her has been seen all day his youngest son, Kim Airs, who came one day before his mother to Began in the motorcade in which the guards were moved to the activist.

Kim Airs, also called Hein Lin and who reside in the UK, arrived in Burma on June 16, the date on which his mother turned 66.

The last time Sue Kyiv left Yangon was arrested in 2003 and ended shortly after dozens of supporters of the military regime attacked her motorcade in the north and produces a violent confrontation that killed 52 people.

In late June, the opposition leader challenged the government reiterating that she toured the country, beginning in July, despite having been advised that both his party and political activities that take place are illegal.

The Ministry of Interior warned in a letter to Sue Kyiv that her actions are illegal political group since it was dissolved in September last year for failing to register for the elections in November.

“What we are doing is very dangerous for the country,” warned a few days ago in an editorial “The New Light of Myanmar ‘, the English-language daily that authorities often use to spread their messages to the international community.

The National League for Democracy, which won by a large majority in 1990 elections, boycotted the last elections as they are both part of the general plan to perpetuate himself in power.

Sue Kyiv was released last November 13 after seven and a half years of house arrest and has since devoted much time to social issues and try to help rebuild the party, nearly dismantled by the arrests of militants.

The trips take on a new dimension to the advancement of Internet and social networks: dialogues in real time, remote location by GPS, recommended accommodations and tourist attractions are just some of the traveling community uses the network of networks.

Today we can give advice about travel, places to visit or avoid, and check hundreds of thousands of recommendations from others when we are in a particular location. It also presents the possibility of becoming “tourism ambassadors” of a destination, providing specific information to other users anywhere: enclaves, walks, museums, places to sleep or eat, etc…

Beyond the distance, status or cultural differences, social networks are built friendships increasingly numerous, and the online experience today takes an interactive and representative. Each, as an active member, makes his own decisions and can change the dynamics of the network at any time, while it is embedded and is influenced by the community in which it is immersed. But as celebrities build social networks in minutes or disseminate valuable information in real time, can “lead to the top” or “bury” a tourism project, based on feedback and positive or negative impact.

In that context is essential for any tourism product to be present in social networks, feedback opinions and suggestions of the tourist 2.0, and seize the opportunity-not all areas have, to receive firsthand feedback from their customers: to discuss real time to guide them, answer their questions and establish a closer relationship with them.

Of note is the power acquired by cyber-tourists with each post, and reputation can be built on an accommodation or tourist destination. It is therefore essential that tourism providers can capitalize on the views and comments received in social networks, even appreciating the criticisms put to them, understanding them as an opportunity for improvement (it is known that customers often do not complain openly … and back are limited to no more.)

Hence the importance of accepting negative feedback, evaluating the opinions expressed by users on the network to generate changes that result in competitive advantage, optimizing care, adding new services or enhancing existing ones.

In short: the experience online, with the vectors of access and the growing frequency, represent an invaluable tool for travelers and travel suppliers. They must learn to capitalize, for increasing feedback to the tourism industry with new models of communication and the development of new technologies.
