Aug 15, 2012. Update: Hotel situation in Yangon

Aug 15, 2012


As there is a great demand for 4-5-star hotels from business people and a surge in tourism (150% from Singapore according to one report," Yangon hotel operators will confirm rooms only when 50% deposit is paid. If not, visitors may find themselves without a room even though they may have booked one through the Yangon travel agent.

As to getting quotations from us, the quotations are guidelines as at date of quotations and are not fixed rates till the full payment nearer to the date of departure.

Travellers must buy travel insurance in case of cancellations or sickness as this is a wise move.

Dear Judy,
Further to my previous message (below) we would wish to travel by Singapore Airlines from London Heathrow to Changi in early to mid January, and to have 2 or 3 days in Singapore before flying on to Yangon by Silk Air. After a tour of Myanmar we would wish to return to Singapore for a further week before returning to London.
I omitted to tell you that we would be coming from the UK, although you probably deduced that from my e-mail address.
Yours sincerely

EMAIL REPLY FROM DAVID SING DATED AUG 15, 2012
I am David Sing. Thank you for your email. As the hotel demand is very high, please let me have the exact dates of travel and please note that you will need to pay 50% downpayment to secure the hotel rooms, due to this high demand. The hotels require exact dates nowadays as they don't have problems getting high occupancy rates unlike 2 years ago.

I will get the quotation for you as soon as possible after getting the dates.
