35 Countries Where Tourists Get the Royal Treatment (And 20 Where They Don't)

47. Myanmar: Political Instability and Limited Support

Myanmar's ongoing political instability and human rights concerns create a highly challenging and often unwelcoming environment for tourists. Since the 2021 coup, visitors face risks of arbitrary detention, limited freedom of movement, and the moral dilemma of supporting a military regime. Infrastructure is basic, and reliable services are scarce outside major cities. While the country possesses immense cultural beauty, the pervasive atmosphere of tension, limited internet access, and the potential for unsafe situations mean that travelers often feel unsupported and unwelcome by the ruling authorities, overshadowing any individual warmth encountered.
