Dear Editor,
Greeting from Yangon ,Myanmar.
I am Chang Yein, regular reader of your journal.
Thank you so much for your effort ,encouragement,contribution and
participatory in Myanmar Tourism and Cultural affairs.
It is essential for us and forth coming generation who are interesting
in Myanmar tourism industry.
You have done a good job. So I would like to say CONGRATULATION!
I do well noticed for you news and article.

One thing, I am afraid that some of your writer is not well inform and
provide wrong information. It is very dangerous for our generation and
cultural.
For example: last article, Ko Shwe Mya Aung shared  about Shwe Inn Dein.
It was  very good of Ko Shwe Mya Aung. And it is necessary to write
about it. I do congratulate to Ko Shwe Mya Aung.
But , Ko Shwe Mya Aung mentioned that, Kutodaw become World Heritage
Site but not Bagan.
It is the wrong message Ko Shwe Mya Aung presented, there is no world
heritage site in Myanmar yet.
I would like to confirm that there is no world cultural heritage site
in Myanmar.
I hope it is better to confirm about your article with  Ministry of
Cultural and Office of representative of UNESCO in Myanmar.

I hope for the best .
With best regards
